We’ve been talking about it for a year and now, here it is. The proof for all we have been asserting about the Game Changer optical sorter is in this bottle. From a challenging 2014 harvest comes this brilliant, complex Cabernet Franc full of currant, licorice and cherry notes. On the palate one feels a definite gravity of fruit enlivened by a racy acidity and anchored by a graphite-like minerality. Whiffs of hardwood smoke, tobacco and spice elegantly weave their way through the plump dark fruit and deliver a wine that is truly memorable – and all from a rather marginal red grape harvest!
