Askerne Cabernet Franc 2021
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
93/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS
Boutique Hawke's Bay producers Askerne have won a stellar reputation for crafting gold medal winning chardonnays. But with rich notes of raspberry, redcurrant and cardamon spice, fine tannins, and finishing long and juicy, this elegant cabernet franc demonstrates their talent for producing equally beautiful reds. Climb in.

Tasting Notes
Cameron Douglas MS writes "Great colour and decent concentration leads to a bouquet and palate of dark berries and olive, some dried herb and black currant, there’s a soft leafy quality then baking spices of barrel and coffee bean. Dry with a moderately firm texture, tannins deliver a chalky mouthfeel and acidity adds vibrato and freshness. Well made, classic and perfect with myriad red meat dishes and cheeses."
The winery writes "Toasted aromatics with vanillan oak sweetness, raspberry and red currant notes mixed with some darker fruit tones, tobacco, leather and a hint cardamom spice. Savoury with upfront sweet berry fruits, spicey and rich on the palate with excellent concentration and a long juicy finish."
