As always, 100% Cabernet Franc spending 14 months in barrels, the 2019 Scipio pours a jeweled red color and has a lovely peppery spice that lifts from the glass along with notes of redcurrants, cedar, fresh forest herbs, rocky earth, and fresh flowers. The palate offers more tension and a snappy feel, with crunchy, ripe tannins, mouthwatering acidity, and a great, stony textured finish.
