Dark red brick in color. Classic aroma is filling the glass. Cassis, light toasted sandalwood, roasted almonds, licorice, and ripe plums. The mouth-feel is rich but elegant. Fine dark cherry and fig notes are surrounded by well-integrated toasted oak and layers of velvet tannins. There is nice concentration of the fruit and a smooth but lively long finish. This is a beautiful Cabernet Franc, fruit driven, sophisticated and balanced. The perfect partner to food.
