WineDiva's Review

Fresh, succulent, compelling.
A compelling and serious Cab Franc, the 2020 was small batch fermented on skins, the wine was then barrel aged in French oak, 40% new. Pretty high-toned red currant aromas are woven with star anise, violets, vanilla, kirsch and freshly turned earth.It has a supple entry and vibrant red berry flavours layered with cocoa and spice. Potent yet stylish and compelling with a dark chocolate and espresso notes on the finish.


 
Recommended Pairings
Rich Meats , Cheese - Blue, Good First Impressions, First Date, Tomatoes and Tomato Sauces, French Food
