Light and straightforward on the nose with squeezed lemon and sharper kumquat, this simple and easy wine shows why this grape can be a great quaffer. The palate offers minerality, touches of dill and…

Smoky, nutty aromas blend well with rich, baked-fruit flavors and baking spices in this broadly built, velvet-textured and full-bodied wine.
Fresh and stalky, this is a wine that brings out the smokiness of Cabernet Franc and puts it along with crisp red-berry fruits and acidity. A wine to be drunk young, although with enough concentratio…
