Jonty Met Otto eh? A curious name and one of those I always seek to find the story's meaning. Named for viticulturist Charles Simons and his young family, this Cabernet Franc from the Orange region's Mayfield Vineyard is a beauty.
There is a brightish hue in the glass that immediately attracts the eye. Abuzz with red cherries, strawberries and crunchy red apples, red plums slowly build momentum. A curious flash of coffee grounds comes and goes with some black tea and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, there is something about its presence and shape that keeps calling me back. A very handy debut.
