Tasting Notes

Concentrated aromas of juicy plum, raspberry, currant and cassis unfold with black pepper, clove and tobacco leaf. The medium-bodied palate is fresh and structured, with supple tannins, elegant cedar and vanilla accents, and a long, persistent finish.

Food Paring

Serve this polished Cabernet Franc with smoky barbecue or herb-roasted pork to complement its savory spice and supple tannins. It is equally inviting alongside rich lentil stew or eggplant Parmesan for a hearty vegetarian pairing.

Professional Reviews

95 Jeb Dunnuck

"Another outstanding vintage of Cabernet Franc, the medium-bodied 2023 was blended with 10% Malbec and is expertly balanced, high-toned in acidity and herb, with lovely red berry fruit and notes of peppercorn. Fermented on native yeasts before aging 15 months in mostly foudre, with a touch of barrel and concrete, it's complex, cohesive, and polished from start to finish. Drink now through 2037."

93 James Suckling

"A fruity cabernet franc with aromas of ripe black cherries, currants and hints of tobacco, dark olives and spices. Sappy and deliciously fruity, with a medium body, a juicy core of fruit and fine, linear tannins. Drink now or hold."

92 International Wine Challenge

"Youthful fresh and herbal. Touch of tomato leaf, crunchy red fruit and a nice finish."

91 Wine Spectator

"Fresh in feel, with a graphite and thyme underpinning to the pure strawberry and Santa Rosa plum core. This is sleek and refined on the finish, making for a quaffable style, but with enough tannins for short-term cellaring. Drink now through 2036."
