The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 94 points
April 30, 2021 - Retail $135. 82% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. I do not get a ton of samples with retail prices north of a hundred bucks, but giddy-up! Fairly dark in the glass with blackberry, black pepper, and just a hint of green pepper (which I love). The palate is, surprisingly, even more inviting: rich red berry fruit, more than tantalizing acidity, and several layers that evolve well beyond the first sip. Peppery, fruity, but also reserved. Yowza. Decidedly angular instead of muscular, this gets a Whoa. Delicious but worth the tariff? That's a tough one for me since, well, I am a fairly cheap son of a biscuit maker.
