This Cabernet Franc (which includes 5% Petit Verdot) has a fresh mix of fruity, mineral, ripe red fruits, red plum, gentle oak spice, currant, and cassis aromas. It all comes through deliciously on the spicy, medium+ to medium-full bodied and dry palate and framed by fresh acidity and smooth, ripe, and refined tannins. Minty herb, tobacco, and cassis notes linger on the long and very satisfying finish. Tasted Nov. 2023. Score: 90+ pts
