2005 ST. FRANCIS CABERNET SAUVIGNON "This ripe, mid-density Cabernet deserves kudos for it keen focus on cassis-like characteristics and its underlying, oaky richness that plays a finely honed second fiddle to the fruit. The wine is full but not heavy on the palate, and if it is a bit fleshy to start, it is also fitted with firming, balancing acidity and a tightening stratum of tannin towards the back."
