Much like the Baker's Run Cabernet, this Cabernet Franc from Coonawarra's Brand & Sons is right in the slot. A wine with some kick in the belly but it flows with ease and is not forced. There is a lot to like here.
A little firm early on, it softened beautifully over three days of tasting. A melange of black olives, Bay leaf, dark plums and berries, some char and earthiness all fold into one another with ease. Grippy, sandy like tannins roll through effortlessly. Solid and reliable, gee I really enjoyed sipping on this. It's got that soothing, inner massage appeal, only heightened by a comfy spot beside a fire pit. Great stuff.
Drink to eight years.
