Spicy, peppery fruit forward nose, with a touch of sweet oak; soft, tangy, fruit forward in the mouth, with more of that spicy, peppery cab franc influence leading into a nice fruity, peppery finish, balanced by smooth tannins. An easy-drinking sipper, and even better with the right food - it went really well with wife's Mexican-style cheesy chicken, beans and rice dish.

3rd bottle of 12. a nice blend of Cab Franc & cab Sauvignon by Austin Hope. The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis), red currant and blackberry. It tastes like blackberry, raspberry, red currant and black currant (cassis). The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

Way to much VA for me. Strong chemical / nail polish smell and medicinal taste.

Smoky, but also a little bit fishy, which is the first time I’ve used that description for a wine

Very nice. Tannins are firm. Though it can be sipped alone, I prefer it with food.
