Black Estate 'Home' Cabernet Franc 2023, North Canterbury

Purple and ruby hues with a pink rim and lots of polish lead to a bouquet of blackcurrant and plum, then blackberry and savoury spices. There’s scents of kalamata olive and leafy greens, then a deep earthy quality, flint then some smoke. Taut and youthful squeeze as the wine touches the palate, flavours of dark berries and plums reflect the bouquet, layers of lees, flint and spices, a reductive quality and youthful power. Tannins and acidity present a firm frame around the core fruits. A wine that needs time to settle and develop more with best drinking from 2027 through 2035.
