The 2014 Cerro Sur, 85% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, is deep garnet-brick in color. Notes of redcurrant preserves, blackberry pie, and plum pudding jump from the glass, with hints of iron ore, tilled soil, and wild sage plus a waft of cigar box. The full-bodied palate is mature yet still possesses plenty of energetic black fruits, with a firm, grainy texture and seamless acidity, finishing long and ferrous.
95/100 Lisa Perrotti-Brown; The Wine Independent

A library release for this superb wine, approaching 10 years old and a wonderful time to drink. Softened by waves of tobacco, cocoa bean and truffle, melted into plump blueberry, blackberry and cassis fruit, still showcasing energy and clarity of intent. Love the nuance and drawn out concentration. Great stuff from Andy and Annie Erickson, shining a light on one of the most interesting corners of Napa with the precison of their winemaking, from a vintage that was dry but not overly hot, harvesting the 40 year old Cabernet Franc vines well into October. 50% new French oak barrels, bottled unfiltered and unfined.
