2022 Estate Cabernet Franc
Tasting notes
In our 2022 Estate Cabernet Franc, vibrant aromas of brambly red berries, red currant, stewed rhubarb, and violet lead into a palate that balances fresh fruit with the variety’s signature herbal and earthy qualities. Notes of green pepper, leather, and graphite add depth, while fine-grained tannins and bright acidity create a structured yet elegant finish.
Grapes were handpicked and destemmed into a half ton picking bin, punched down once per day and pressed off after 15 days on the skin. Aged in a 1 year only French Oak barrel for 20 months. Hand bottled, unfined and unfiltered.
