Hickinbotham Revivalist Cabernet Franc

A single-vineyard Cabernet Franc from the historic Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyard in McLaren Vale, "The Revivalist" (or "The Nest" block) reveals intense aromas of dark plum, wild blackberry, crushed violet, dried sage, graphite, and subtle cedarwood. The palate is full-bodied yet remarkably lifted, featuring structured, fine-grained tannins, cool-climate natural acidity, and a long, savory, dark-berry-accented finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with braised beef short ribs, roasted leg of lamb with rosemary, duck breast, prime ribeye steak, or aged Cheddar.
