100% Cabernet Franc from 35 to 40 year old vines rooted in white limestone and clay soils. This displays a gorgeous deep red color and lovely perfumed aromas of black fruit, crushed hazelnut, coffee, spice box, green bean, and tobacco. It has amazing structure and minerality with a long mouth coating finish. This needs a few years of bottle age to come out of its shell, built for long term. (Best 2017-2025) - January, 2014 (MD)
