2017 Dexter

2017 Dexter Cabernet Sauvignon – Cabernet Franc
 Tasting Notes
 Intriguing aromatics of graham cracker, vanilla bean, cherries, currants, violets and graphite. This wine is solidly built with a polished and persistently rich texture exuding flavors of red berries and cherry liqueur. There is also a lifted herbal note and a hint of cocoa powder lends grip on the finish.
