2023 Dogura Cabernet Franc

The 2023 Dogura is deep ruby in color. The nose is fresh and vibrant, opening with bramble and blackberry. Woody herbal notes of bay leaf and thyme intertwine with baking spices and blue fruit, expressing the character of Cabernet Franc.

On the palate, the wine is structured and powerful, with excellent aging potential. The tannins are front-loaded, then taper gracefully toward the finish. Lively acidity and savory notes maintain focus and elegance throughout.

95 points — The Wine Palate

"The 2023 Cabernet Franc Dogura is made from 99% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it sings of red currant jelly, kirsch, and black raspberries, leading to hints of pencil shavings, bay leaves, and rose bud tea. The full-bodied palate is packed with red berry preserves and savory flavors, supported by fine-grained tannins and a refreshing line, finishing long and fragrant."
