The 2016 Sarah Francis The Secret Vineyard Oak Knoll is dark ruby in color; the bouquet is immediately elegant with aromas of licorice, dried herbs including sage, lavender and various red fruits. The nose continues to evolve showing additional aromatic layers including mocha, cocoa powder, Graham cracker and old cedar. The palate features juicy mouthwatering acidity framed by broadly distributed, dense and chewy tannins sporting a medium but long-lasting grip. These tannins are also layered, earthy and dusty. This wine continues to linger with hints of dried tobacco leaf. It still shows very youthful six years post vintage date at the time of our tasting and most certainly has years of life ahead of it.
