One of the great eye-openers from my Orange expedition was tasting an array of Cabernet Franc wines. Much to my surprise, it was more popular than first thought, and the quality was consistently high. This release from Canobolas Wines hits the mark.
Wonderfully savoury, the fruit was clearly gently handled. Fermented naturally, it is loaded with black cherries and pretty scents of purple flowers. Ripples of dark chocolate seduce with a scattering of black pepper adding interest. Touches of charred meat rise up late but there was no mistaking the measured generosity through the mid-palate. The sustained finish ensures you have another reason to kick back and stay a while. Very well done.
