At goodmans maddox. Very amazing smooth and fruity south african cabernet franc blend. Maybe a bit mild for red meats but great by itself.

Blend of Cabernet Franc (75%), Merlot (20%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%). Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Bold aromas and flavors of blackberry, cranberry, red and black currants, cigar box, leather, vanilla and graphite. Long and overly oaky finish. Light in acidity and somewhat out of balance. Strange aftertaste. Might simply be past its prime. Thanks for opening, Bob W.

Delightfully developed fragrant black fruit, charred oak and herbs. Cab franc shining through in all its glory. Darkness and elegance. Tight tannins still.
