Tasting Notes
The 2020 vintage provided a smaller crop than normal, with lighter clusters, resulting in wines with deep color, beautiful aromatics, concentration, and perfect ripeness. A beautiful glass of wine with enticing aromas and flavors of plum, black cherry, blackberry, sweet herbs, red pepper flakes, spiced cocoa, and wet loam. A supple mouthfeel and velvety tannins provide a perfect framework for this delicious Cabernet Franc. Enjoy!
Drink 2023-2033.
