Cabernet Franc is a difficult variety to make by itself in California, which is why so few wineries do. Reverie gives it a good try. Their '09 is quite tasty in cherries, minerals and oak, with distinguished mountain tannins and a savory, spicy finish. But it's not one for the cellar, so drink before 2014.
