"The 2023 Cabernet Franc is aromatic, bright and nicely lifted. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, white pepper and dried herbs open beautifully, giving the 2023 gorgeous aromatic presence and breadth. The purity of the fruit is front and center."

"The 2023 Cabernet Franc is red-fruited, herbal, lively on the nose and accented with damp, turned-earth aromas and woody flourishes. The palate echoes the spry qualities of the nose, although it slightly darkens up and turns purple-fruited before finishing with a fragrant, refreshing note."
