Caladan Cabernet Franc 2017 chamapagne

Caladan Cabernet Franc 2017 chamapagneVery deep garnet purple colored, the 2017 Cabernet Franc is a little closed to begin, slowly revealing redcurrant jelly, blackberry pie, boysenberries and mulberries with nuances of Ceylon tea, raspberry leaves, tilled soil, pencil shavings and underbrush. The palate is wonderfully elegant with a medium to full body and very fine grained tannins supporting perfumed cherries and black berries layers, finishing long and energetic. 97 points Wine Advocate
