2018 Jean Louis Vermeil Cabernet
In Stock
The Cabernet Franc gives the wine additional layers and great complexity. Notes of lilac and cigar box, as well as raspberry seed and subtle spearmint are present on the nose. The combination of tannin profile from both the cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon deserve time in the cellar to soften around the edges The acidity is framed by medium weight which gives way to the long and developing tannin and finish
