A complex Cabernet Franc from Australia's Adelaide Hills, a haven for diversity and innovation. This Cab Franc perhaps displays a little less of the green leafiness you might expect from the varietal, in its place we have a medley of mulberry, red cherry, green strawberry with a lick of cedar, graphite and liquorice. There's an attractive, slightly wild edge to this with a lovely aromatic lift. The acidity is fresh, and balances out a chalky, ripe grippy set of tannins. A pure, and focused expression of Cabernet Franc.
