Aromatic and ruby in color this cabernet franc has a Chilean nose that is reminiscent of the green pepper aromas often associated with Chilean carmenere.

There are also red cherry and black currant aromas.

On the palate the cabernet franc is smooth and fruit forward with medium tannin showing itself towards the 70% point of the taste.
