About Three Elms Cabernet Franc 750mL
Three Elms Cabernet Franc opens with an inviting bouquet of fresh red currant, crushed violet, and roasted red pepper, layered with a subtle herbal lift reminiscent of dried thyme and pencil shavings. On the palate, the wine is graceful and medium-bodied, delivering bright raspberry and pomegranate fruit alongside a savory, earthy core. Fine-grained tannins provide gentle structure without austerity, while a thread of dark chocolate and smoked cedar adds depth and complexity. The finish is clean and persistent, with lingering notes of graphite and dried herbs that speak to the variety's classic character.
