Sultry Cabernet Franc 2021
Few varieties on Earth are as recognizable as Cabernet Franc.
With its fine texture, its mid-level depth and pungency there are very few bottled as single varietals as we have done with Sultry.
A drop dead gorgeous wine with amazing intensity and purity of aromas Sultry is a fine-toned, red-fruited wine built on poise, not power.
The nose is stunning! It has an abundance of elegance presented in a seductive fashion with an exotic roasted nut and dark fruit character and then comes that sweet caramel, cranberry with a touch of licorice and spice in an intoxicating aroma leaving just a hint of lavender and violets.
In the mouth Sultry is full and rich with its berry and plum flavor. Sultry finishes with a very light black cherry flavor, full, rich and satisfying and just to make things interesting, a hint of herbal and mineral notes that add a beautiful complexity to its profile.

The ageing phase commences in the cellar and takes 20 months during which the cellar master racks the wines as required to clarify them naturally. No fining agents are used so the wines remain vegan.
