The 2021 Istar Cabernet Franc is one of those wines that absolutely fuse your senses in an overpowering way in one. The color is dark, but vibrant, with flashes of violet and purple and ruby. Aromas of herbs, tobacco, black fruit, mushroom, dark cocoa pop from the glass. The palate explodes with lovely, velvety layers of chocolate, plum, and wild blueberry, sitting beautifully amidst strong and luscious tannins. And then the silky finish long finish.

Winemaker notes
The intense and fresh aroma of wild strawberries and blackberries is complemented by hints of vanilla and spices. Full-bodied and juicy wine with a soft and delicate taste. The unique variety and voluminous structure are prerequisites for a long aging in the bottle.
Aging in French oak: 6 months.
