The debut vintage, the 2017 The Nest Cabernet Franc is a stellar effort. Perhaps because of the cool vintage, it captures those elusive herbal-floral notions that make Cabernet Franc special, with scents from black tea to violets accenting the cherry fruit core. It's medium to full-bodied, with creamy-supple tannins and bright acids. Engaging and complex, it finishes long, vibrant and refreshing. Bravo!

This has an intense delivery of redcurrants, raspberries and red plums with an attractive, leafy and bracken edge. The palate has a core of wild red berries with some chocolate also in the mix. Juicy, engaging and flavorful. JS
