Delicious, modern fruit-forward style without being over the top. Not very identifiable as Cab Franc, although IMO this wine is better executed than many new-world bottlings of the varietal. A different kind of complexity than I'm used to with the traditional Loire style. Very good now; decant and drink up.

The wine looks Ruby colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Blueberry, Cranberry, Prune, Lead Pencil, Pine, and Clove. It tastes like Blueberry, and Raspberry. The body is Medium/Full. The wine has Round texture. The wine finishes Medium. Good tannins - could be finer though. Decanted in bottle as we drank over 3 hours.
