2023 Estate Cabernet Franc
Tasting notes
Stunning medium ruby to deep garnet color, this wine’s aromas catch your attention and don’t let go. On the nose there are big notes of ripe cherry, brown sugar, teakwood, crushed black pepper, pipe tobacco with a dusting of cocoa powder. As you are tasting this special wine, notes of sweet plums, canned cherries, ripe strawberry and black currants evoke your palate. This wine is lush and round, the back bone of our estate, with mouthwatering acidity with an exceptionally long finish.
