This wine is made very well. On corking beautiful tartrate crystals cling to the cork. Needs a few to open up... revealing a slightly bigger wine than I expected... however, not as complex as I had hoped. (Which is often what I find with cab franc blends) however it’s a beautiful food wine and you can tell the fruit was great. Good tannins from what to me seems both American and French oak. Great mouth feel. Just didn’t present the subtle complexities I was lusting after today. However serve up some hearty meat and I think it’s solid pairing.

This wine presented much better tonight than my previous tasting,
Has a bit more licorice and cola than I remember. Enough body to roll with lamb.

Nose is lacking...(or maybe just mine tonight to be fair I have a bit of a cold ..(but improved as it opened up more))
Sweet but not super fruit forward...
Lacking interest for me... a peppery finish though maybe even a bit much for me with how delicate the fruit is for a Rhône blend.
Could be good with some ribs though!
