2020 | Wolffer Estate Cabernet Franc | Hamptons Long Island Domaine de Bila-Haut Wild raspberries

Wild raspberries

Minty and tight

The wine may also show hints of oak

In the middle with melting and lactic notes

Leathery tannins and jangly acidity are equally matched

2020 | Wolffer Estate Cabernet Franc | Hamptons Long Island Domaine de Bila-Haut Wild raspberriesDark red brick in color. The aroma is filled with fine sandalwood, prunes, ripe blueberries and hints of liquorice. The mouth feel is elegant but firm and there is a nice round fruit component that is wonderfully balanced by great minerality, fine toasted oak and layers of ripe tannins. There is a vibrant long finish with a hint of bell pepper typically for Cabernet Franc. This is a great food wine and will improve nicely with age.
