The Debate Cabernet Franc Stagecoach Vineyard (Napa Valley)
I am really digging this Cabernet Franc. The wine provides ample richness with complex nuances of flowers, forest leaf, tobacco, dark and red berries and a touch of blueberry. Lush, fresh, rich, and with good intensity, give it 4-5 years in the cellar. 1,750 Views Tasted Dec 7, 2021 |

The Debate Cabernet Franc Sleeping Lady Vineyard (Yountville)
Not quite as intense as the other 2 Cabernet Francs in 2018, still, the wine has plenty to offer with its layers of black and blue fruits, licorice, vanilla and floral notes. Plush, forward, and fruity, this is going to be great on release and for 15 or more years. 1,682 Views Tasted Dec 7, 2021 |

The Debate Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard (Napa Valley)
A blast of minerality adds to the ocean of deep, dark, black fruits, licorice, smoke, vanilla bean and chocolate. Round and polished, sweet and fresh, there is length, vibrancy and a wealth of fruit here. The finish is all about the lift and sweet, black fruits. At slightly more than 15% ABV, there is no sensation of heat. 2,614 Views Tasted Sep 8, 2017 |

2014
The Debate Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard (Napa Valley)
Finesse and refined in style, the fruit has lift and vibrancy, coupled with depth of flavor. Seemingly holding back for the moment, it is hard to miss all the ripe, blackberries that blend perfectly with the cassis in the finish. With less intensity or depth than its brothers and sisters, it's still quite strong. 4,380 Views Tasted Sep 8, 2017 |

Absolutely stunning in every sense. Powerful, concentrated, focused, energetic, rich, lively and tannic, the wine cots your mouth, teeth and gums with flavor.
