  This has improved in the past year. Initially savory and very strong green pepper taste. Gives way to olive tastes and green tomatoes. A good showing with savory notes from this one. Strongly recommended for those that like a typical cab franc. Great price point.

  X-Dry. Low+ acidity. Med- tannins. Med+ body. Med finish.
  
  15% abv? Deep purplish red pink rim. Slow medium tears. Medium intensity nose of blueberry, cherry, floral, red bell pepper and mint. The palate has very nice body with dusty tannins and flavours of red cherry, bell pepper, spice and leaf. Just enough acidity present. Good lengthed finish.
  
  Palate more savoury/herbaceous than fruity but not quite as savoury as Rioja I recently had.

  Dark ruby colour. Aromatic, ripe currant, tobacco leaf and smoky mineral nose. Med-full bodied with ripe fruit flavours and a smoky finish.
  3.5/5
