Signature red berry, cedar and herbaceous notes on the nose, this is true Cab Franc. The palate is nervy and fresh, with cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, basil and toasty oak flavours. The tannins are gentle and evolved, but the acids are quite marked, providing balance and vivacity. Chill lightly and enjoy with conversation, or serve with roast pork or chorizo sausages.
