Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromas of ripe strawberry, blackberry, pepper, and earthy notes. Tart and vibrant on the palate, medium bodied and nicely balanced fruit and spicy notes. Enjoy this with grilled pork, beef, or lamb.
Winemaking
Hand picked and destemmed only, the cabernet franc was fermented warm (not hot) for 24 days and barrelled quickly into French oak. Most of the newer wood was used in our Certain Ratio cuvée and the balance was reserved for this wine giving the botanical aspect of the wine space to grow. Give this wine 3-5 years but expect it to provide a quietly thrilling drinking experience for 20+.
