This is a quality Cab Franc -- on par with a Loire Chinon or St. Nicholas. It has surprising complexity and development for a wine at this price. Intense purple color, really nice mouth feel. Finish with just a hint of tannins. Great food paring wine (roast pork, grilled meats). Liked it so much I just scored another case!

A little young yet. Decant or use a "wine finer" to remove the edge. It does develop a bit with some air.

Rich garnet color. Spicy nose with hints of rich woods. Dark smoky cherry on the palette.
