Tasting notes
Equinoxe Cabernet Franc is a very small-production wine that is not made in all vintages. The vines were cropped at very low yields and it allowed us to capture the spirit and the very essence of this noble grape variety. Grilled poblano (darker) peppers, red cherry, spicy vintage cigar, saddle leather, smoked meat, dusty earthy tones and other hard-to-pinpoint complex aromas greet you on the nose. There is a monstrous weight behind this wine and a finish that lasts for well over a minute. A monumental wine that is a must-buy for lovers of Cabernet Franc. Can be enjoyed on release for those who enjoy bold wines that don’t play coy.
