Description:
A breakthrough vintage, this wine is an absolute blockbuster! Intense fruits and almost purple black color. Lovely floral notes. Violets, black plum, coffee bean, currants, briar, and super rich berry burst on to the palate and sets your mind spinning. Fantastic depth with an incrediable mouth feel. This wine is a collector.

Varietal Definition
Cabernet Franc:
Cabernet Franc is an accessible, spicy, herbal, dark blue grape variety that is often compared to Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc tends to be softer and has less tannin than Cabernet Sauvignon, although the two can be difficult to distinguish. Sometimes the French refer to Cabernets, which could mean either of the two grapes. Its typical aromas include an herbaceous and pronounced peppery nose, even in ripe fruit, and something eerily like tobacco. The Cabernet Franc ripens at an earlier stage, which gives it reason to exist in the Bordeaux area. In the Loire, where we find it a lot, it gives a clear red fresh and fruity wine.
