Black Barn Hawke’s Bay Cabernet Franc 2009 $59 
Lifted plum, prune, dried herbs, cedar and exotic smokey notes open the door to a burst of blackberry, pepper, juicy red liquorice and tangy earthy flavours in the mouth. I love cabernet franc, and this example really makes a massive impression with delicious presence and solid length of flavour. www.blackbarn.com
