This clone of Cabernet Franc has a wide, balanced stance and carries its muscular frame with ease. Weighty, fleshy notes of warm summer field berries, currants and old leather gives this wine its brawn, but the bright acidity gives this rich vintage its nimble mobility. With all that the Clone 327 carries, the cheerful acidity also provides an important focus and a sparky energy. This presentation of brute strength with the grace of a dancer makes this wine both intriguing and compelling.
