Crafted using organic practices from 100% 15-35 year old Cabernet Franc vines, Mabileau employs the most discerning vineyard and vinification techniques, which produce one of the finest examples of Cabernet Franc. Rich, dense flavors of black currant, cherry and rose petal are sleek and muscular, backed by an iron-like minerality. It feels pure and confident, firmly bound up in a suavely tannic grip. At this price, do not pass up this glorious 2005 vintage Cabernet Franc discovery!
-Liz Dowty, Certified Sommelier, Santa Ana.

Wine & Spirits Rich, dense flavors of black currant, cherry and rose petal are sleek and muscular, backed by an ironlike minerality. It feels pure and confident, firmly bound up in a suavely tannic grip. Score: 92. April 2008.

Wine Spectator Solid, with lots of gutsy briar, black olive, black currant and tobacco flavors that pump through the finish, which puts it all together. Drink now through 2008. Score: 90. —James Molesworth, December 15, 2006.
