Beautiful, floral, spicy, and red and black-fruited aromatics emerge from the 2018 Cabernet Franc SVV, a medium to full-bodied, balanced expression of Cabernet Franc that has loads to love. With good ripeness, ripe, silky tannins, and solid background oak, it's approachable today yet will benefit from just short-term cellaring and cruise for 15 years. It's a terrific Cabernet Franc.

A tight, focused red with lovely polish and firmness to the tannins that give form and finesse to the wine. Blackberry, chocolate and light hazelnut undertones. It's flavorful and pretty.
