Nose
huckleberry and
blueberry jam aromatics.
Palate
Fruit loaded on the palate with a typical
Cabernet Franc flavor profile. The mid-palate has nice fatness from a
bit of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. It has mouth coating moderate
tannins with a soft finish. Will benefit from further aging but can be
easily enjoyed upon release.
