The Debate – Cabernet Franc Sleeping Lady 2018

On the nose is an explosion of savory herbs, thyme, coco powder, cedar and chocolate with cassis and blueberry reduction lingering on touches of graphite and cherry jam with crushed rocks and truffle salt On the palate: Beautiful, soft and jammy entrance evolving on a fresh mid-palate with touches of boysenberry and freshly picked Maine blueberries, lingering on tannins with touches of dark chocolate and red currant. 100% Barrel Fermented, 20 days on skins.
