Description

James Suckling Review
Rated 94
This cabernet franc is fruity, with aromas of fresh herbs and ripe red berries. I like the mid-palate tension and fluidity, with fine spices and elegant fruit. Juicy and textured, with cohesive tannins and a long, streamlined finish. 95% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon. Really delicious now, but can hold.
