Beautiful, elegant, and crystalline ruby red color. Red fruit-scented nose of ripe raspberries and fresh strawberries with the signature herbal and floral aromas of this variety. Rounding up this complexity are notes of orange peel and graphite, both of them, elegant and subtle contributions from the barrel. On the palate, this interesting medium-bodied wine offers a smooth attack, marked by an intense and refreshing acidity. Its firm yet pleasant tannins open for a persistent finish.
92 James Suckling A pretty fresh cabernet franc from the warm 2020 vintage. Plenty of red fruit, strawberries and spices on the nose followed by a linear center palate, but it is still a bit closed with a tight clutch of tannins in the finish. A bit chewy, but it is still nicely drinkable. Drink in 2024.
