Maxville Estate 2022 Cabernet Franc

This vibrant 2022 vintage showcases Cabernet Franc’s signature elegance and earthy charm. In the glass, it pours a deep ruby with violet hues, hinting at the freshness within. Aromas of ripe red currants, crushed raspberry, and black cherry mingle with subtle notes of graphite, dried herbs, and a whisper of green pepper — a nod to its varietal character.

On the palate, it's medium-bodied with silky tannins and bright acidity that brings balance and energy. Flavors of juicy plum and wild strawberry unfold alongside savory undertones of tobacco leaf, black tea, and a touch of spice from gentle oak aging. The finish is clean, persistent, and lightly mineral-driven, making it a versatile companion to food or perfect on its own.
