Wild herbs and crushed flowers lift from the glass with remarkable purity. Red currant and game notes flow with graceful intensity, while sage and mineral accents add complexity. The tannins show exceptional polish for Cabernet Franc, never intrusive yet providing elegant backbone. Drinking beautifully now through 2025.
