2019 Foxcroft Vineyard Cabernet Franc

100% Foxcroft single vineyard Cabernet Franc, fermented with natural yeasts prior to 18-months élevage in 225L neutral French oak barrels. Aromas of blackberry, cherry, green pepper and spearmint. On the palate, the wine opens to a swath of blue and black fruits, anise, a seam of Cab Franc’s herbaceous character and a savoury finish with balanced acidity. The wine has excellent structure and cellaring potential of 7 to 10 years of improvement, and in the meantime enjoys a good decant. It benefits from pairing with food to bring out the full complexity of the wine, particularly red meats. Bottled dry, 13.5% abv.
