Opaque ruby. Cherry pit, blackberry, woodsmoke, vanilla, succulent herbs and pipe tobacco on the perfumed nose. Palate-coating black and blue fruit flavors show a smooth blend of power and energy. A floral pastille flourish emerges with air and carries through the long, youthfully tannic and appealingly sweet finish, which features hints of vanilla, mocha and baking spices.

The debut vintage, the 2017 The Nest Cabernet Franc is a stellar effort. Perhaps because of the cool vintage, it captures those elusive herbal-floral notions that make Cabernet Franc special, with scents from black tea to violets accenting the cherry fruit core. It's medium to full-bodied, with creamy-supple tannins and bright acids. Engaging and complex, it finishes long, vibrant and refreshing. Bravo!
