I absolutely love this wine. Its got bright fruit yet not over ripe at all. Its very well balanced. Noticeable yet mellow tannins on the gums when swished around the mouth yet not unpleasant or furry. I did not sense much acidity. Deep purple plumb color. Not much fruit on the nose but definitely some kind of minerals. I tasted black cherry, dark fruit, and a slight tart rhubarb note. Very tasty....curious to see where this one goes with more age if I can let it go that long.

Classic Loire cab franc, but perhaps starting to fade a bit.
