Elephant Hill Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon and Merlot Reserve 2016 Hawkes Bay

Violets and blackberry fruits, spices and leather, violets and Doris plums. Oak. Enticing complexity and varietal vigor. Fleshy, fruity, ripe and dry. Very youthful on the palate with firm tannins - chalky needle point textures. The violets, olive leaf and black berry fruits of Cabernet Franc are ripe and delicious. Well made, lengthy and memorable. Drink now and through 2025.
