January 12, 2016 - This is really a varietel and terroir wine. Yeasty dough, menthol, bell pepper, sour cherry & rasperry and bitter spice on the nose. Medium bodied wine has a very well balanced structure with integrated tannins, refhreshing and impressive acidity, nice red fruits concentration and last but not least, remarkable salty-earthy ("bitterness" not the true description but let me say "wild") minerality on the palate. The finish is medium-long length, delicious and clear. As far as I know, this single vineyard wine aged eight months in french oak barrels and you can feel the result of this successful process both on the nose and the palate; just enough oak but never oaky!.. It is absolutely the best Turkish cabernet franc I have ever tasted and one of the best Turkish wine I have tasted in recent years. It is like Touraine reds and I'm wondering the performance of the wine four-five years later.
