This vintage opens with a lifted aromatic profile of ripe red currant, blackberry, and violet, layered with graphite, baking spice, and a touch of cedar. On the palate, the wine is structured yet supple, with fine-grained tannins that frame a core of dark cherry, plum, and cocoa. Hints of tobacco leaf and sweet oak linger on a long, polished finish. The 2021 Reserve Cabernet Franc is both vibrant and deeply expressive, capturing the power and elegance of the vintage.
