The wine is an opaque violet color with appealing black fruit, violet, cacao powder, sandalwood, and bell pepper aromas that blossomed after some time in the glass. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied, and concentrated with juicy acidity, and well integrated velvety tannins with ample macerated blackberry,cassis, plus, very dark chocolate, and vanilla flavors with a long finish. The wine tastes and feel of Rutherford dust, a term used to describe the terroir of the Rutherford AVA.
I popped and poured, but I would recommend aerating for best results. #CabFranc #CabFrancDay
