Pour a glass of this Cabernet Franc from Brash Higgins with its inviting savoury introduction and you'll sure be pleased with what's in front of you. It's a pleasure to drink without any bells and whistles, that's for sure.
Loaded with minty things, pine cones and pine needles muse with an array of dried Mediterranean herbs. Dark cherries and red plums drive the fruit profile that possesses a measured generosity with a good dose of cherry cola sliding in late. Some warmth wriggles its way forward but it doesn't detract. The longer it's open the more it shows that yin and yang wrestle between the savoury highlights and the fruit. Fine tannins add more interest to a long and sustained finish - another tick in the box. There is certainly a lot to like here.
