Its deep, coffee color is followed by incredible notes of roasted coffee beans, browned sugar, spice, dried figs, and any number of other aromas and flavors in this general ballpark. These are mirrored on the palate where this beauty is full bodied and decadently textured; yet, for all its girth and richness,

rich tannins and a long

buttery texture and complexity provided by fermentation and ageing in barrels

Loosen is one of the most highly acclaimed wine estates in the world

93% Cabernet Franc

and hints of redwood

while maintaining great elegance and finesse
