Caladan Cabernet Franc 2019 (750 ml) Tasting Notes

Caladan Cabernet Franc 2019 is a sophisticated and elegant wine that showcases the potential of this lesser-known Bordeaux varietal. Sourced from select vineyards in Napa Valley, this Cabernet Franc offers a complex profile of red and black fruits, including blackberry, raspberry, and plum, with hints of violet, graphite, and a touch of spice. The wine’s silky tannins and balanced acidity create a smooth, lingering finish, making it an ideal pairing for roasted pork, lamb, or mushroom dishes. Caladan’s focus on crafting wines of precision and elegance is evident in this beautifully nuanced Cabernet Franc.

Critic Ratings

Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 96:
Wine Enthusiast notes that the Cabernet Franc is blended with 21% Merlot and retains clear varietal character. Red fruit, toasted oak, and baking spice unfold with elegance and sophisticated complexity. Mannered tannins and ample structure support further development, with a suggested drinking window of 2029–2039.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 93+:
Wine Advocate emphasizes rose petal, violet, sage, and raspberry from fruit sourced primarily at Yverdon Vineyard on Spring Mountain. The 21% Merlot component contributes suppleness to a medium- to full-bodied palate that remains taut, focused, silky, and mouthwatering. Dusty tannins extend the long finish, and the review suggests the wine may improve with additional cellar time.

James Suckling Review - Rated 93:
James Suckling highlights brambleberry, walnut, crushed stone, and tile aromas. The medium-bodied palate is juicy and creamy, with spice and fresh herbs adding detail to the fruit. Its open texture and polished finish make it approachable now.
