2012 Cabernet Franc
Denmark, Western Australia

A classic example of cool climate Cabernet Franc. An elegant, floral lift with blueberry and an underlying seasoned oak aroma. The palate is well weighted with soft tannins and rich red fruit interwoven with warm spices from the seasoned French oak. A full bodied wine with a persistent finish.
