Westcott Vineyards Butlers’ Grant Old Vines Cabernet Franc 2021

From old vines of a single vineyard within the Twenty Mile Bench that sees 22 months in French oak, 25% of which is new oak. This wine flaunts a highly aromatic, fantastical nose of dark cherry, blackberry, roses and cedar. The palate exhibits intense cherry and ripe raspberry flavours, smooth tannins and energetic acidity. Adding layers are dark roast, black coffee and rosemary on a long, savoury finish. This would make a perfect pairing for steak or a roast dinner. 93 points
