Cabernet Franc

We saw our very own Sabar Cabernet Franc grow up and become adult. It was already promising as early as its "newborn" age, and by now this promise has become reality, in a firm and complex body. "Eye catching" overture, sweet barrel spices mixed up with pepper notes and the gentle fruitiness of blackcurrant. Plum seasoned with cinnamon with a touch of chocolate as a reward in the finish.
