September 4, 2020 - New world package with good varietal typicity with a strain of Cab Franc green underneath. The nose is bright and shows the ripe fruit that this has. Some new oak perceptible. Fruit driven and a good introduction to the varietal for the new world wine drinker. Though it probably isn't meant to age, I think a couple years could let this settle in further and integrate the oak. A nice wine. 13.% abv.
