Imperial around the edge to dark purple at the core. A beautiful combination of red and blue berry fruit aromas intertwined with savory elements of bell pepper and sweet tobacco leaf. The entry starts with tart berry, fills the mid palate with a lush sweetness, then lingers around into a juicy finish. Cab Franc is a terrific food wine: grilled, roasted, spicy, special occasion, everyday and dessert. Fresh and vibrant, this wine is meant for the now, but has enough fruit and acidity to age well into the 2030's.
