Saturday, February 26, 2011 - color: purple medium + intensity, tears fast to form and fall
nose: med + intensity, spice, purple flowers, ripe boysenberries, black tea, dried raspberry leaf,
palate: dry, acid med+ tannin medium + ... a (vibrating) quality, light on the tongue like a Georges Seurat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathers_at_Asni%C3%A8res) painting
body is med, alc est 13.5 finish is med+

Style note: Elegant and vibrant style of Cabernet Franc, "Old World" in the sense of slightly subdued fruit with many nuances of texture and flavor. Interplay between spunky red fruit, some deeper levels of black fruit, and balance between acid, tannin, and what appears to be minimal oak quite good.
