Tasting notes:
Colour: Deep ruby red colour with brilliant clarity and medium viscosity in the glass.
Aromas: Forward black cherry and cassis are complemented by notes of red bell pepper, sun—dried fruits, toast, coffee, and vanilla.
Palate: Deceptively open and direct on entry, opening to reveal a rounded middle supported by excellent acidity. The soft tannins from the middle palate through the firm, ever—so—slightly bitter finish, adds length to the structural elements. This full—bodied Cabernet Franc was aged in small oak barrels, which contributed toasty complexity to the gamut of rich fruit flavors. The mouth feel is balanced toward firmness, showcasing the aging potential of the variety.
