Casa-Dea Reserve Cabernet Franc VQA 2020

Tasting Notes

This opens with an exotic Asian incense aroma joined by red and black cherry/berry fruit and notions of earthy and floral notes on the nose. It envelopes the palate with flavours of red pie cherry and black currant underpinned by still-evolving tannin and a balanced smattering of ripe black cherry and notions of blueberry and sweet vanilla intertwined with grilled savoury herbs and a replay of palate flavours on the finish and aftertaste. Give this a go with red, meat-lovers pizza or pasta puttanesca. Drink or cellar. (Vic Harradine,winecurrent.com,Nov. 23, 2022)
