Smith & Sheth Cru Heretaunga Cabernet Franc 2019, Hawkes Bay
Fantastic bouquet with a core of pure Cabernet Franc fruit showcasing violet and dark berries, fresh new season plum and sweet olive, some dried herb and stony soil sense of place. Nice weight and tension with an abundance of tannins and acidity alongside a core of varietal fruit flavours to reflect the bouquet, flavours of lavender and olive dark berries and stony soils. Balanced and well made with youthful tension and drive. Well made, lengthy and ready to enjoy from today - if decanted - with best drinking from late 2022 through 2028+.
