Vriesenhof Limited Release Cabernet Franc 2003

This Cabernet Franc is a 100% clone variety 623, the motive being the rich fruit aromatics of cassis and raspberries, which over time has matured into a rich full bodied wine. Strong aromas of Flint and minerality with pepper and leather are the backbone of this wine yet the lingering fruit on the aftertaste is a great reminder of its youthfulness.
