Past its prime. Good color but the little fruit and juiciness left dissipated within half an hour. The tannins were earthy, and increasingly came across as a bit dirty. Mild VA was also a problem, so while drinkable, not enjoyable.

After an hour decant this Cab Franc was a decent wine. Having that Traditional vegetable, bell pepper undertones, with a dark Cherry and peppery base. Day two this wine fell off dramatically leaving me very neutral on it.

A different Cab Franc in that it has oakyness of a heavy cab & pepper of a Zin. Has enough fruit to provide the softness so that masculinity of wine isn't overbearing. Gets better wt each passing moment so should be better later tonite. Drink only if you're in the mode for a heavy, dry albeit tasty wine.
