Detert Cabernet Franc East Block 2021

The 2021 Detert “East Block” Cabernet Franc comes from old-vine plantings on the storied East bench of To Kalon Vineyard. This wine is lush and layered, offering aromas of dark berries, mocha, dried herbs, and a hint of anise. On the palate, it delivers rich flavors of black cherry and cassis, framed by mineral depth and fine-grained tannins that lead to a long, refined finish. It strikes a compelling balance of power and elegance, showing both structure and grace, and it is a wine built to age gracefully, though it can also be enjoyed now with some decanting.
