  CA Cab Franc in a chuggable/glou-glou natural wine style. This seemed too fruity, sweet, and simple at first, as wines in this style can, but developed some very nice floral and herbal character as it sat in the glass. Pretty delicious.

  Deep garnet color. Lush dark fruit flavors of blackberry and blueberry with some tartness and not much additional complexity. This is a fruit driven wine which after a couple years aging might mature to allow some subtle tannins to show.

  Just awful. Maybe it was a flawed bottle?

  Venue: Home; General Notes: Think old world cab franc goes on rumspringa during the dark days of Detroit and turned into Rick James: real talent but way too much of everything. Big stewed fruit, heavy mouth, grippy finish. (I suspect there was no way to throttle back on this harvest.) one point five out of four with two caveats: this style of wine ain’t my thing, but lots of folks will love it, and I’m going to keep some around in case it decides to mellow out. ; Wine Notes: | Eco Style | Sustainable | Winemaking Notes | Aged for 6 months in neutral french oak barriques ;
