2020 Burrowing Owl Cabernet Franc

An elegant, complex and textural Cabernet Franc with aromas of violets, blueberry, blackberry and black plum with shortbread, lavender, coffee and dark chocolate notes. The medium-bodied palate is intense and fresh with silky tannin, structure to age and complex notes of dried thyme, plum, raspberry, dried mixed berries, pie crust, licorice and paprika on the long finish. Pair with a red wine braised rabbit or quail, Annatto rubbed grilled flank steak or cumin and paprika flavoured braised vegetables.
