Tinta Premium Reserve Cabernet Franc — Estate Bottled

Tinta Premium Reserve is an estate-bottled Cabernet Franc of real character. In the glass it shows vivid ruby, often with a violet rim in younger vintages. The nose is inviting and complex: raspberry, redcurrant and cherry meet violet and a classic Cabernet Franc hint of green pepper; with air, balsamic, spice and mineral notes add depth. On the palate it is elegant and medium-bodied, with silky tannins, lively acidity and excellent balance, and a long, refined finish. Young vintages are fresh and fragrant; oak-aged releases gain structure for cellaring comparable to fine Bordeaux-style reds.
