This has nice lift to the red fruit, cherry and plum, with a wisp of chocolately oak and a hint of the Cabernet Franc’s leafiness and graphite aromatically. Medium to medium fuller bodied, the red berry and plum fruit flavors have good energy and brightness while the tannins are beautifully integrated bringing this to lovely, lingering conclusion. Displaying nice balance between the fruit, tannins and acidity this has the structure to show well over the next couple of years quite easily. This is a terrific value that showcases the strength of the vintage.
