Cuvee Violette 2013

Region: 
Producer: 
Grape Variety: 
60% Cabernet Franc 40% Cabernert Sauvignon
Tasting Note: 
A velvet-textured blend of cabernet franc from 40-year-old vines and cabernet sauvignon from 60-year-old vines, this has a cool, foresty feel in the 2013 vintage. It ripened to figgy richness and plummy sweetness without losing its bright edge of acidity. Healthy and fresh, this should develop complexity as it ages.
