2014 Cuvée Frangin
Regular price $35.00This year’s Cuvée Frangin offers a strong introduction to the 2014 vintage. Cut from the same cloth as our flagship wines, the Cuvée Frangin shares the vibrant fruit, silky texture, and sense of freshness that has us all excited about the vintage.
A greater amount of Cabernet Sauvignon was available to us at the blending table in 2014, which is immediately noticeable in the aromatics; Red currants, raspberries, and blackberries all compete for your attention, while more subtle notes of cedar spice and crushed herbs are expressed with time in the glass.
The palate offers plush fruit flavors, and this is where the Rhone varietals show their presence. Flavors of plum, pomegranate, and strawberry are supported by crisp acidity, and velvety tannins. The palate is deep and layered, but above all showing the mouthwatering structure of the’14 vintage. The finish is sweet and reflects the marriage of Bordeaux and Rhone varietals. The Cuvée Frangin is certainly capable of improving with bottle age but is irresistible now.
