"A classic Cabernet with cedar spice and pencil shaving aromatics. Dense dark ruby red/black colour with ripe plums and integrated oak on the nose. Full flavoured palate and firm structure. Supple, yet fresh. Great potential for ageing and further development for the next 6-8 years."
"Complex and attractive bouquet of oriental spices with pronounced violet and white pepper flavours. It has lovely perfumed red fruit aromatics. A well-balanced wine with spicy overtones and a lingering finish. Very classic style with unmistakable Rhone flavours. Good to drink now, but will develop and mature over the next 10 years."
A Cab Franc made from riper fruit, with the abv to match. Where a lot of Cab Francs are great with a lighter meal like a stirfry, this one could take on a steak and baked potato without trouble. That familiar bell pepper edge complimented by a hint of cedar-y warmth.
