title: Single Leaf 1999 Cabernet Franc (El Dorado)
description: Curiously lean, given the fine vintage. It's filled with green, stalky aromas and flavors. The palate wants to find some ripe berries and discovers only tart acids and austerity. There's some hidden fruit that would come out with the right foods, but on its own it's one dimensional. —S.H.
