Single varietal Cabernet Franc is finally getting some limelight. It's intriguing bright but dark fruited aromatics are centre stage here. There's a little brambly note too, with softness in the texture, and a chalky dry finish. Leaning towards more of medium bodied 'Loire Valley' style, Amy has clearly navigated a difficult vintage very very well. Her dedication in the vineyard pays off big time in the glass.
