Very modern and clean style of Cabernet Franc (no obvious Brettanomyces). Palate is loaded with blackberries, black cherries, blueberries, and hints of caramel and toasted fennel seeds. Slovenian oak adds texture but not a lot of oak tannins.

My first Slovenian wine: ripe fruits balanced with mildly drying tannins and good acidity. Impressed.

Fruit on the nose. Sharp on the tongue. Smooth on the palette.
