Winery Review:
"Leafy, herbal aromas of eucalyptus, olive and juniper are big players on the nose of this firmly balanced Cabernet Franc. Spicy, herbal berry flavors are fully oaked and chocolaty. On the finish, this is blackened and tannic, with fleshy black-fruit leftovers and a dusting of oaky cocoa. Drink through 2023."
My Review:
I liked the Cabernet Franc and it was slightly surprising to me when I first tasted it. The wine had a much lighter body and tannins than I thought there would be. However, it still had a good balance between the tannins and the sugar content. Flavor-wise, it had a blackberry flavor and had a small bit of oak flavor. It was slightly spicy with a medium finish that stayed on the tongue with the spices. I had a burger with it, and while it didn't pair poorly with it, it wasn't a game changing experience.
