The 2019 Cabernet Franc is a blend of 78% Cabernet Franc 16% Cabernet Sauvignon 2% Malbec 2% Petit Verdot and 2% Merlot. Deep garnet-purple colored the nose springs forth with notions of blueberry preserves redcurrant jelly and boysenberries plus wafts of bay leaves pencil shavings and red roses. The palate is a medium to full-bodied tightly knit structured style with a ripe fine-grained and refreshing line supporting the bright red and blue fruits finishing with fantastic length.
This shows gorgeous and very primary fruit with currants black cherries and hints of flowers. It?s medium-bodied with fine tannins and long intense purity and primary character. Crushed grapes. Fresh acidity. Finesse. So tasty now. Drink or hold.
