Growers Collection Howell Family Vineyard Hawkes Bay Cabernet Franc

to file in the category of 'wish I had another one of these for ____ years from now'. Solid, but with forward-looking prosperity. Hawkes Bay forever.

Not Pinot? Incredibly exciting in mouth. Red fruit and mineralogy with serious weight for its category. On its own wonderful, but wants food to pair.

Lots of vanilla, orange, clove, and syrup. Unique blend of flavors for a Franc of this body

Really tasty in a cocktail wine kind of way. Much to expensive for this simple yet yummy style. And lack of acid made it rather flabby.
