2023 Cabernet Franc is another stellar and extraordinary wine. A good Cab Franc
is a rare find and this small production is a true testament to the greatest of the grape.
Immediate aromas of luscious black cherry, black currant and pepper are enticing. The
palate offers a firm tannic texture, consistent with French Countryside Cabernet Franc.
It contains amazing structure from start to finish. A solid backbone of ripe red fruit
mixed with plenty of herbs coats the mouth. There's a dash of florals on the nose, spice
and vineyard floor, hints of bell pepper too. Overall, its dusty, chalk-textured and
layered with sizeable tannins. Give this wine a good decanting, it will improve beyond
2028.
