Distributor Notes: "Aged 18 months in 225L French oak (60% new). A delicious, supple Detert Cabernet Franc with the classic texture, power and range of flavors that this vineyard produces. Dense, lush and layered in the mouth, revealing flavors of licorice, dark chocolate, currant and fig preserves over a silky framework of tannin. Long, plush finish shows a range of dried herbs, currant, anise, sandalwood and cocoa that builds and builds. Totally delicious now."

Supple and energetic in the mouth, showing a complex range of plum, blackberry, espresso and cocoa powder flavors layered with mineral and herbs.
