This wine has a couple of my favourite features: Cabernet Franc grapes and the “Unfiltered” moniker – the unfiltered means that nothing has gotten in the way of the “purity” of this wine from barrel to bottle. Nose seems to be a plethora of aromas: herbal, floral, violets, crushed raspberries, cranberry and a touch of tobacco … palate shows off a supple, juiciness yet also some spicy raspberry elements and a little herbaceousness (in a good way). Pretty and light with a spiced-tobacco ending that turns the supple into delicate on the finish. Price: $35.00 – Rating: ****
