Nice nose with red and blue fruits, light wood, spices, tobacco leaf, herbs and light vegetables.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, plums, raspberries, spices, dark chocolates, black pepper and earth.
Short and bitter finish with fine grained tannins.
This is an interesting take on Cabernet Franc from Tuscany. Doesn't drink like one, but easy drinking and good by itself or with food. Elegant and tangy.
100% Cabernet Franc grapes were aged for 12 months in large Chianti wood barrels.
14% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
$30.
