Friday, May 15, 2015 - Blackcurrant, compost, cranberry, lead pencil. Interesting mix of dark fruit, red fruit and vegetative characteristics, reminds me much of a Loire Cab Franc. However, the fruit is slightly darker, tobacco is more in the background, the palate is silkier, and the acidity, while still medium/high, is less pronounced than a typical entry level Loire CF. Good weight, more cranberry on the palate, soft tannins and a lovely mix of fruit and herbs on the finish. Not necessarily deep or profound, but really hits the sweet spot in terms of ripeness and accessibility.
