A vivid, deep red, the 2021 Reserve Cabernet Franc tantalizes the palate with succulent aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and kirsch, accented by spice top notes of dry sage, bay leaf, and lightly roasted coffee bean derived from oak barrel-aging. Girded by a firm structure, the wine’s savory cacao and dark chocolate flavors are rolled in velvety, cocoa-powder tannins that reveal traces of “Rutherford dust” in the refined, polished finish.
