“The 63% of Cabernet Franc makes its delicate mark, with ink and violet florals, sweet anise and fresh, well-defined blackberry and plum. It is medium-bodied, with subtle cedar oak, a fine, chalky plume of tannins and persistent acidity. A unique, lissom red, with lovely balance and finesse for the price. Following nine months in barrel, the Cabernet Franc spent another nine months in an old 4,000l French oak foudre while the Shiraz stayed in barrels.”
