REW 2020 The Colleen Cabernet Franc

100% appassimento Cabernet Franc, only 2 select barrels from the 2020 vintage were used for The Colleen. The fruit was dried for 82 days on drying racks and after a long fermentation, spent 29 months in French oak barrels. It is a marvel on the nose with incredibly rich, powerful notes of blueberry compote, cassis jam, raspberry tart, campfire notes, sweet herbs, and perfumed spice box. On the palate, it’s highly concentrated, layered and structured with ample tannins followed by a rich mix of dark berries, jammy/ripe red berries, espresso bean, dark chocolate, touches of herbs and eucalyptus, fine oak spices and a long, luxurious finish. Can cellar for 12-15 years.
