Brown brick red color. Aromas and flavors of cherry mint chocolate bar, frosted banana cake, hint of resin and latex, and herbal lozenge with a satiny, bright, fruity medium-to-full body and an effortless, subtle, long finish with nuances of plum tart a la mode, apple pie, and spiced nuts with fine tannins and moderate oak flavor. A toothsome, true-to-typicity Cabernet Franc with ample fruit, lush oak, bright acidity, and pinpoint balance.
