The 2016 Oakville 'East Block' Cabernet Franc is an extremely limited production from Detert. Showing a bit more sophistication than the Oakville Cabernet Franc the 'East Block' offers striking aromas of dark currants and cassis laced with espresso, licorice, herbs, dark chocolate and hints of iron mineral notes all developing in the glass. On the palate this is is medium to full-bodied with incredible concentration and focus. Structured and balanced, this stunning red goes on to impress all the way through the long, polished finish. Overall, this is a drop-dead gorgeous wine, and there is no question it will go on to have a spectacular future in store for many years to come.
