Brand & Sons Last Sunday Drive Cabernet Franc 2021 from Coonawarra is a fresh and vibrant expression of this varietal with bright scarlet hues. The nose offers herbaceous spice, metal nuances, plums, cherry, oak, and a hint of coffee. On the palate, it is medium-plus bodied with abundant juicy blue fruits, fine tannins, and balanced acidity. The wine shows attractive red to black currant and mulberry notes alongside vanillin cedar, earth, subtle tobacco, and spice layers. It has a rich mouthfeel, evolving beautifully with air, and finishes relatively long with leather and a delicate balance of spice.

This cabernet franc pairs splendidly with grilled meats, rich stews, or dishes featuring mushrooms or earthy vegetables.
