Tasting Notes

Young, firm and round, our 2009 Signature Cabernet Franc is also resolved in flavor, stature and ripeness. Opened by the alluring perfumes of violet, black tea and incense, the palate is more hedonistic— displaying plush blackberry, cassis and juicy blueberry mingled with dusty baker’s chocolate, cigar box and espresso. Spicy nuances of cinnamon, clove and cola are welcome on the finish.
