In the glass, it pours a deep garnet with a violet rim, hinting at its brooding intensity and youthful structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose opens with a commanding bouquet of loamy earth, saddle leather, and dried lavender, laced with an intense, almost primal gaminess. Underneath, subtler and prettier notes of cassis and black currant fruit emerge; elegant counterpoints to the wine's wilder impulses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, the tannins are attention-grabbing and firmly drying, framing flavors of olive tapenade, tanned leather, and tobacco leaf. With time in the glass, the wine quite literally wrestles with itself; pure fruit slowly pushing aside the harsher savory tones. As it opens, silky textures develop, tannins soften, and a chocolaty richness overtakes the structure, revealing unexpected depth and grace. The finish lingers with dried violet and lavender, pushing through with particular force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMouthfeel:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStructured and gripping at first, evolving toward silky and round with air; finishing with lingering notes of dark dried flowers, earth, and tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePairing Suggestions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeautiful with herb-crusted lamb, duck confit, aged sheep's milk cheeses, or a slow-braised short rib; dishes that match the wine's depth and match its transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eServing Tip:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDecant for at least 45 minutes before serving to allow its wild edges to soften and its extraordinary complexity to fully unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kelham","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53574764396768,"sku":"132144","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/kelham-cabernet-franc_1.jpg?v=1784839236","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/kelham-cabernet-franc-2013-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
