Peter Franus

#24, TOP 100 WINES, 93 PTS, WINE ENTHUSIAST. The '07 Peter Franus Sauvignon Blanc is a magnificent wine in the white Bordeaux style; rich and lush in mineral-laden gooseberry and honeysuckle.

Packed with enormous ripe fruit flavors; ultra-rich Napa Valley Cabernet, loaded with black fruit, sweet oak with a noticable amount of tannins, long and seductive on the finish.

90 PTS ROBERT PARKER, JR. The '01 Franus Brandlin Ranch Zinfandel is a top notch effort from an under-rated producer; displays aromas of blueberries and crushed rocks in its cool climate style.

The Franus Zinfandel is a great example of muscular red; rich and bold, yet firm and well managed; a load of blackberry flavors, here.
