“The single-varietal 2021 Sugarloaf Vineyard Cabernet Franc is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. It skips out with vibrant notes of redcurrant jelly, fresh blackberries, and wild blueberries plus hints of wild thyme, lavender, and graphite. The medium to full-bodied palate has a firm, grainy texture, with great tension and a long, red berry-laced finish.”
