2016 Ashes and Diamonds Cabernet Franc

My husband was very interested in trying a bottle of Ashes and Diamonds and he got his hands on this 2016 Cabernet Franc.

His interest in this wine was peaked by the fact that Steve Matthiasson, one of their winemakers made this particular vintage. We do like the fact that the back label includes information such as the harvest date, pH, TA and winemaker. We tried to see Steve Matthiasson when we visited Napa recently, but had no luck.
My husband made his special smoked steak which we had with baked potato and a side salad. This wine already has some age on it which is very nice. To my palate it was still very young with a tannic finish. This particular wine was made from a blend of grapes from vineyards located in Los Carneros, Oakville Knoll and Yountville.
Ashes and Diamonds is located in Napa Valley.

Perhaps the next time that we are in Napa, we will put Ashes and Diamonds on our to-visit agenda.
