Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Chateau Buena Vista Cabernet Franc prances out with showy notions of redcurrant jelly, Morello cherries, and wild blueberries giving way to hints of rose oil, pencil shavings, and iron ore. Full-bodied, intense, and impactful, the palate has a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins and seamless freshness supporting the tightly wound fruit, finishing long and fragrant.

A solid red with cherries, violets and earth on the nose and palate. Medium body with chewy tannins. Herbs and wild berries on the palate and a savory finish. Try after two to three years to soften the tannins.
