Tasting
Cabernet Franc is best known for it's smokey and savoury renditions from it's spiritual home in the Loire Valley in France, it is often a component in Bordeaux blends as it is in this case with the blend consisting of 52% Cabernet Franc 43% Merlot and 5% Malbec.
A youthful red in the glass the nose gives red fruits with leafy undertones. The palate has well defined blackberry and raspberry that are underpinned by fine tannin and a juicy line of acidity. The wine sees a return of the subtle leafy undertones to finish which work well with a touch of spice.
