  Blackcurrant and black stone appear immediately on the nose, with blackberry and black tea aromas opening up with a little further exploration. A spin in the glass reveals creamy coffee tones, with just a hint of vanilla and cracked black pepper.
  
  Black plum preserves dipped in black pepper introduce this wine’s palate, with subtle notes of green tea and herbs showing on the edges a few moments later. Vineyard dust, oak barrel tones, and just a slice of orange peel also show through, further developing this wine’s complexity. This is an impressive, interestingly reserved and subtle take on Cabernet Franc, with very nice integration, lots of ripe fruit, bright acidity, and soft, dusty tannins. Well made, solid, and very enjoyable.
