"Full redcurrant and red-plum fruit with delicate spicy character. Very well-structured, medium-bodied palate that has a nice, velvety mouth feel. Positively crisp finish with some spice and bark complexity. 30% whole cluster. Mostly matured in stainless steel. Drink or hold."

"The 2022 Cabernet Franc is ripe and structured, benefitting from the dry vintage and gaining ample fruit concentration. Black raspberry, tobacco, new leather and oil-cured olive build layers in the glass, driven by juicy acids and chalky tannins. The 30% whole clusters are imperceptible. This was done almost entirely in stainless steel, yet there's great textural roundness and suppleness."
