TASTING NOTE
This vintage of Cabernet Franc is filled with aromas of brambly raspberry and figs with underlying notes of anise and red cherry. The palate brims with bright red fruits and mouthwatering acidity upfront and finishes with elegance. The silky tannins mesh nicely with the ripe red fruits, offering a long and balanced finish that has structure as well as drinkability.
