Brash Higgins
FRNO Sommerville Vineyard Cabernet Franc
McLaren Vale, Fleurieu, South Australia, Australia
New world cab franc. Spicy, herbaceous and leafy characters to note with underlying notes of wild raspberries, cherry and plum. Sits in the realm of medium bodied amongst a sturdy structure that I'd imagine would see this age well providing you have the patience, otherwise go forth now.

Mar 30th, 2016Dont know why i haven't gotten around this wine a little more. The aromatics were forever changing and only gained more interest as time went by. It started off very primary yet still very enticing. Aromas of plum, raspberry and some rose petals were present early on. As oxygen got through it there was an exotic spice and dried chilli showed through along with some earthy and leafy notes. Tannins were almost non existant in there subtlety, certainly calmed down with a bit of bottle development in the 14' Bright, juicy acid and sits beautifully in its slightly more than medium weight in the palate
