An excellent rendition of Cabernet Franc, this shows medium-plus body appropriate to the variety. Not as thick or heavy as Cabernet Sauvignon, it nevertheless shows lots of aroma (with no green notes) and punchy black cherry fruit with lifted acidity and excellent persistence through the long, symmetrical finish. Perfect for prime rib or a grilled veal chop. A Double Gold award winner at the 2017 Toast of the Coast Wine Competition.
