The 2021 Cabernet Franc is gorgeous. Crushed flowers rose petals mint blood orange spice and mocha lend notable aromatic brilliance to this mid-weight refreshing offering from Detert. Bright acids pull it all together in style. - By Antonio Galloni on December 2023 Tom Garrett turned out a gorgeous set of 2021s at his family?s estate in Oakville. In recent years Garrett has emphasized a bit more freshness in his approach and that?s a positive as the wines seem to have plenty of richness on their own. Things were more complicated in 2022 when the fruit had to be picked in the middle of the Labor Day heat spike. Right now the 2022s are on the lighter side. It will be interesting to see how they develop. However the real news here is that several of the best winemakers in Napa Valley are about to gain access to this fruit now that a lease held by another winery has expired. When that happens quality often goes up for all involved because of friendly competition and shared learning.
