    Savory complexities of bramble, herb, bell pepper and leather highlight the duality of this luscious, deeply fruity Cabernet Franc. While plump and full bodied, it's structured with taut acidity and a frame of delicate, finely textured tannins.

    There's a concentrated core of ripe black cherry and plum here, but the focus of this wine seems focused on its earthier, more savory elements of mineral, moss and wood. Rustic yet elegant, it's a neatly composed wine with sprightly acidity and a bold yet balanced body.
