Cabernet franc...

67.188.166.191

...the name makes me think of Martin Short's Franck, the wedding planner, in Father of the Bride.
Six of us blind tasted six cab francs (the wine you liked best gets one point, wine you liked least gets six points).
6. 2012 Lang & Reed North Coast $20 - 32pts
5. 2012 Easton Amador $24 - 24pts
4. 2012 Reynolds $50 - 24 pts
3. 2012 Terraces $50 - 22 pts
2. 2012 Writer's Block (Steele 2nd label) $17 - 15pts (BevMo)
1. 2012 Steele $18 - 12 pts
The two inexpensive Steele's ran away with it. I've been to their winery near Clearlake and they are pretty much all good wines for the money - I particularly like their chardonnay and a couple of their zins.
Next month - Australian Shiraz.
