Deep red colour. Nose presents oak, cherry, and tobacco. Taste is a true big red Cabernet Franc. Cherry, spice, pepper, hint of tobacco, and oak. An intense mouth filling structure with a smooth finish. Well worth the price. Do take the time to let this wine aerate. It's worth the extra time and planning. I tasted this wine right after opening the bottle, aerated 30 minutes and tried again. What a difference! The intensity of the flavours just about knocked me over. This wine is only available from the winery each year between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Get it while you can! A fanastic big red wine.
