TASTING NOTES:
This is a precise and intense cabernet franc that has so much fruit and chocolate character. It’s full-bodied with polished tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Not many cabernet francs like this around. Try it. Drink or hold.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
Endless Aroma – asuka is the name of the town in the Nara Prefecture where founder Kenzo Tsujimoto was born. The word asuka in Japanese signifies a bright future and hope for tomorrow. We can metaphorically link it to the long-lasting aroma and elegant palate of a wine that will impress today, tomorrow and beyond. Well-balanced, velvety, exciting.
