Garnet red in colour. The bouquet shows peppery and fruit laden, this highly quaffable wine. The aromatics are clearly Cabernet Franc with violet floral overtones, graphite and ripe red raspberry. The palate is juicy, clean, fruity, but balanced with Cabernet Franc notes of peppers, ripe berries and exotic spices. The finish is elegant and focused with earthy, mineral notes, contrasting with the red berry fruits.
