Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc

The estate Cabernet Franc displays a deep ruby hue with garnet reflections of remarkable clarity. The nose opens with expressive aromas of blackberries, boysenberries, and ripe black currants, accented by subtle floral tones and a hint of graphite. On the palate, grippy yet refined tannins frame a silky, layered mouthfeel, carrying concentrated dark berry flavors alongside nuances of cocoa, dried herbs, and gentle spice. Balanced acidity adds freshness and lift, leading to a long, persistent finish with lingering dark fruit and mineral notes. Beautifully expressive in its youth, this wine drinks well now with a brief decant but will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 10 to 12 years.
