Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A rich and exciting Cabernet Franc with plum,
blackberry, mint, and clove aromatics. On the
palate the wine shows tremendous strength with
ripe tannins, seamless acidity and wonderful fruit
and herbal tones leading to a long finish. This is
a wine that will do well over the next 8-12 years
in the cellar as well.

This wine would complement Italian fare
ranging from grilled swordfish with
capers, garlic and tomatoes to a simple
Bolognese sauce and pasta.
