Tasting notes:

A youthful and very attractive wine, pure and expressive. It has appealing, ripe, juicy summer pudding aromatics with a hint of tobacco leaf and a gravelly minerality. On the palate, the fruit is bright and fresh, with just a hint of leafiness (although never green), as well as fine-grained tannins and a lovely texture. The flavour lingers, and it has an excellent balance, holding its high alcohol exceptionally well. This is a classic Cabernet Franc, and exceptionally good value. (Siobhan Turner MW)
