Description

The grandad (Franc) and the grandson (Sauvignon) have a duet step to dazzle you. The shared muscular athleticism is immediately apparent as this blend dances with a surefooted flair right out of the glass. The Cabernet Sauvignon provides a breadth of warm summer berry, cherry and plum while the Cabernet Franc easily supports the fruit frame allowing for depth and complexity. The energy of youth and the subtle grounding of experience are perfectly balanced in this wine producing astounding flourishes but with a substance that keeps you constantly engaged. The tannic platform on which the duo performs is sturdy and well resolved and the sparky acidity keeps all parts of the act focused. Spirit combined with maturity is the hallmark of this wine.
