Tasting notes
Tobacco leaf, huckleberry, dry sage and ashy undertones; this 2019 Franc begins spicy on the nose. Swirling brings savory notes of roasted veggies, and hoisin sauce, in addition to blackberry compote, cinnamon stick, and pencil shavings. The mouthfeel is vibrant, with noticeable tannins, oak spice and a savory aftertaste. The wine finishes long, and with a nice chalkiness at the end. Drink now or in the next 8 years.
