2023 ‘intention’ Cabernet Franc

This detailed and complete Cabernet Franc possesses all the finer attributes that make this varietal so spectacular and exciting to explore and enjoy. This is a meditative wine that reaches deep into the cavernous heart of ethereal complexity and seduces with dense concentrated dark fruit.
Aromas of blackberry compote, blackcurrant, and ripe plum leap from the glass and subtle undertones of graphite, crushed violet, and a touch of black pepper add complexity, while well-integrated oak offers hints of dark chocolate and sweet tobacco. 
Full-bodied and richly textured, this Cabernet Franc delivers a plush, rounded mouthfeel. The ripe black fruit continues through the palate, supported by velvety tannins and balanced acidity. Notes of dark cherry liqueur and spiced black tea unfold mid-palate, and a hint of savory earth and clove complete the finish. 
Decant for two hours to enjoy now. This wine will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 15 years. 91% Cabernet Franc and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, bottled unfiltered and unfined. Only 75 cases produced.
