Juxtaposed Cabernet Franc 2017
McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaSo franc-y, in a Loire green licked vein. Dusky plum hue with slight cloudiness, this 20-year-old single vineyard McLaren Vale cabernet franc yields medicinal plum, scrubby resin, mulberry, tayberry perfume along finely nubby tannins and a slight 12.5 degree frame, finishing with a fine pink peppercorn dusting and sherry vinegar kiss. Crushed and destemmed (no stems in the cool 2017), this was native fermented, racked off solids into barrel with a little sulfur added just after ferment, and none at bottling Light, chill-worthy, designed to be smashable, this is Juxtaposed's 2017 vin de soif.Tasted: 27 August 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| Australia | $29.00 | 750ml | Australia |
