Note di degustazione
Composed of 100% Cabernet Franc from To Kolan, the 2017 Cabernet Franc Force De La Nature is showing beautifully, with classic Cheval Blanc-like red and black currants, cedarwood, tobacco, and floral aromas and flavors. It displays more chocolate and toasty oak on the palate and is medium to full-bodied, with classic Cabernet Franc elegance and purity, great tannins (especially for a 2017), and a great finish. It ranks with the top wines in the vintage and will evolve for 20+ years.

The 2017 Cabernet Franc Force de la Nature is 100% Cabernet Franc from Beckstoffer To Kalon. A gorgeous, large-scaled wine, the 2017 offers a striking mélange of lifted aromatics and deep, pliant fruit. Rose petal, mint, raspberry jam, mocha and blood orange infuse the 2017 with tremendous character and nuance. This is a fabulous expression of Franc.
The 2017 Cabernet Franc Force de la Nature is composed of 100% Cabernet Franc coming from Beckstoffer’s To Kalon vineyard. Deep garnet-purple colored, it's a little broody at this youthful stage, giving notes of dried sage, smoked meats and garrigue with a core of baked plums, redcurrant jelly, truffles, lavender and tobacco leaf. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is firmly textured with chewy tannins, and bold freshness lifts the intense flavors to a long, earthy finish. 170 cases were made.
