The 2005 Cabernet Franc is an unusual wine in that it is made from old vines the estate accidentally found mixed in with its Sangiovese plantings across a variety of vineyards. The wine possesses terrific density and richness owing to the old age of the vines, along with a distinct sense of Tuscan structure. Roasted coffee beans and spices emerge, lending extra dimensions to the dark fruit. A warm, resonating finish rounds out this exciting wine. Here the oak is used with great mastery, and the wine’s balance is superb. I have to say I am very curious to taste this wine in a more important vintage. It is a terrific effort.
