Voss Experts4.5

Displaying a deep garnet hue, Leonard Oakes Cabernet Franc opens with a bouquet of ripe red currants, black cherry, and subtle hints of green pepper, indicative of its varietal purity. The palate is medium-bodied, showcasing a harmonious balance between vibrant acidity and fine-grained tannins. Flavors of dark plum and raspberry are interwoven with nuances of graphite and a whisper of cedar, leading to a lingering, mineral-driven finish. This wine exemplifies the cool-climate expression of Cabernet Franc, offering both elegance and depth, making it a noteworthy contender for those seeking a refined and complex red.
