  Deep matte color. Decant for sediment. On the nose, cedar, red fruit (cherry, raspberry) and pepper. On the palate, cedar, red fruit (red currant and raspberry). Pronounced soft tannins. Beautiful bright acidity. Somewhat muted midpalate. Somewhat long finish.
  
  An excellent choice to serve with food. Probably capable of another 3-4 years in bottle. This wine shows Syrah-like characteristics, not the usual funkyness that Cab Franc usually brings.
