Trius

Red Shale Four Mile Creek Cabernet Franc 2017

Has a roasted red color to it. The nose is velvety, nutty, and tart. On first sip, I get deep red fruit flavors with some smoke and pepper. Some mulling spices almost. I'm getting black currant, cherry, hint of honey. Has like a cedar taste on the back of it it. It's complex but smooth. Very little tannins. — 4 years ago

Rich dark mahogany colour. Smells of dark chocolate and coffee. Flavours of dark red fruits - blackberries. Subtle smoke flavour. Complex but without the pungy tannins.
