Very interesting wine. Strong nose of cedar, sweet tobacco or cigar box. After 1 hour decant opened up and now some green pepper. Palate is medium bodied, good acid and tannins …. interesting. It’s fuller than the French Cab Francs I’ve had. I think I like this a lot.

decanted an hour and ate with pizza. Lovely garnet color with a nose of raspberry and green pepper varietal character. Maybe violet? Body was medium-light with very nice acidity and just enough tannins. First taste a tad astringent but this wine just kept opening up. Beautiful. 91 now but I may rate this higher as I get more familiar with Cab Franc.
