Saint Clair Pioneer Block 30 Table Top Cabernet Franc 2020

Overview:

Saint Clair Pioneer Block 30 Table Top Cabernet Franc is a refined Hawke’s Bay expression that balances varietal intensity with elegance. Deep ruby with a garnet rim, it opens with lifted aromatics of blackcurrant, cinnamon and dark chocolate. The palate is fruit-driven and concentrated, layered with black and red currant, savoury spice, and a hint of cedar. Full and rounded, with cocoa-powder tannins and subtle oak, this wine is structured, expressive and beautifully varietal.

Tasting Notes:

Ripe aromas of plum, cassis and green leafy herbs are accented by shaved wood and warm spice. The palate is well-weighted and expressive, offering dark berry fruit with thyme and savoury undertones. Firm tannins and a youthful acid line frame the wine, finishing long with a touch of cocoa and oak. A classic Cabernet Franc with cellaring potential or immediate appeal alongside protein-rich fare.
