On the nose, the wine displays a beautiful integration of oak, offering aromas of cedar, tobacco, and hints of cocoa and toffee. A subtle herbaceous note, characteristic of Cabernet Franc, adds complexity. The palate reveals a rich, chewy core with impressive structure and balance. Lush flavors of blackberry pie and baked bread emerge on the finish, complemented by lingering savory notes.
