DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Deep ruby to garnet color, indicating both the youthfulness and potential complexity of the wine. The nose opens with classic Cabernet Franc aromas of ripe red berries like raspberry and cherry, combined with earthy notes such as bell pepper, herbs (like thyme or sage), and a hint of graphite. There may also be subtle floral notes of violets and some spiciness, perhaps black pepper or a touch of clove, suggesting some oak influence.
Medium to full-bodied with a good balance between ripe fruit and acidity. The palate features bright red fruit flavors, such as cranberry and raspberry, with a hint of darker fruits like blackcurrant. The herbal and vegetal notes characteristic of Cabernet Franc are present but well-integrated, adding depth. A touch of oak brings hints of vanilla, cedar, or a slight smokiness. The tannins are firm but approachable, providing structure without overpowering the palate.
