  Red cherries. Slight tartness and acidity. Very aromatic. Smells like white chocolate

  Tasted at the winery. Noticeably more aromatic than the basic cabernet franc especially in terms of spice notes. To the lighter side of medium bodied with redfruit notes (mostly red cherry upfront). It has good mid-body density, but not as much as the 2016. Red berries and tart, acidity based notes along with tannins on the backside. It has good clarity and definition to the fruit through the middle and feels less tight and tannic than the 2016. This accessibility is a positive, but it does seem to come at the cost of some complexity. Should improve slightly with a bit more time in the cellar.
