Intense ruby red with garnet tints.Rich, persistent bouquet with intense hint of jam, good intensity, balanced. Elegant, aromatic and highly persistent. Perfect with red meats, chicken and game.
White smoke, minerals and mentholated herbal tones lift up from the 2017 Cabernet Franc. Hints of wild strawberry, bell pepper and savory spice come forward over time. It’s soft, impressing on purity above all else and remaining quite savory from start to finish. While this is a completely different animal than the fruitier 2018, I’m still finding a lot to like in this more earthy and cool understated expression of Cabernet Franc.
