| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
HUFF ESTATES |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, complex, very slightly spicy, slightly baked, ripe plum-cherry nose with some sandalwood notes. Very dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, slightly spicy, intense, grippy, ripe plum-red cherry flavours with a lingering, faintly herbal, high acid finish. Still extremely youthful - needs 3-4 years. This first 100% Cabernet Franc was fermented and macerated in a 4,200 L oak tank then aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. Has 13.5% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar. |

| TASTING NOTE: Sourced from the clay, shale and limestone of the South Bay Vineyard, which was first planted in 2011, this offers up a wealth of ripe fruit. Look for black plums, blueberry and blackberry in particular, alongside peppery spice notes. Juicy and still a bit tight - lots more to come from this one - it will be perfect for grilled meats or (if you can wait) a hearty meat stew this fall. (Vintages panel, March 2018) |
