Burrowing Owl 2011 Cabernet Franc 750ml

An intriguing combination with intense aromas of ripe Italian plum, blueberry and tomato along with violet, burlap, pipe tobacco and dried herbs. The palate is dry, with lively, juicy acidity showcasing the fresh raspberry, ripe red currant, ruby grapefruit and plum before the intricate combination of chocolate, licorice, dried herbs, baking spice, smoked paprika, tobacco, violet, earth and charred meat unfold on the long finish.
