This is a lovely, pure, clean QPR that goes will all kinds of food. I actually thought it was a rich, meaty Gamay before seeing here on CT it's a Cabernet Franc. Really musty and funky on opening but eventually blew off to bring notes of strawberries, mushrooms, earth, and olives. Finish was rather clean. Good weight but not too complex, just a good quaffer with a quick meal.

(12.5%) 100% Cabernet Franc – No formal notes here as I enjoyed with friends. Focused with tangy, fresh fruits backed by a mineral, white pepper spiced structure that lasts through a long, warm finish. Fairly priced at $13.
Wine Geek Notes: A K&L Wines direct import, no oak here, vines up to 35 years old

Smokey red fruit but a bit disjointed. Was more integrated on the 2nd day but had lost some of the fruit. Maybe needed a bit more time in the bottle?
