Watson Ranch Cabernet Franc 2024 Arnot-Roberts

Professional reviews

James Suckling (93)

Aromas of lavender, violets and garden herbs. Structured, aromatic, fresh and elegant with fine tannins. Recommend opening after 2028.

The 2024 Cabernet Franc Watson Ranch is a very pretty, intensely aromatic wine. This cold, late-ripening site yields an especially fragrant Franc. It's a style that is pushed to the limit in terms of its slightly vegetal quality, but the wine has just enough balance to pull it all together. Dark-toned fruit, lavender, licorice and rose petal linger. I would like to see if this can be picked riper than 11.5% alcohol.
