2022 Cave Spring Cabernet Franc

Tasting Notes

Colour Deep ruby.

Nose Complex, with intense aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, tar, liquorice, cedar and menthol, with graphite, eucalyptus and cracked pepper in behind.

Palate Medium to full bodied with firm, fine grained tannins and black cherry fruit up front; the tannins are tight yet expansive in the middle, cradling saturated cassis and black raspberry fruit and lifted by delicate mint tones; the tannins push onto the back palate, carrying juicy, dark berry flavours into a weighty, lingering finish tinted with notes of blacktop and white pepper.

Food Pairings

Roasted poultry, beef, roasted red pepper and aubergine dishes.
