I do not doubt that this is a well crafted wine. However, I have come to the realization that, in general, Cab Franc on its own just does not jibe with my palate.

Rich and mouthwatering aromas of dark cherry, plum and cranberry sauce with layers of hibiscus, rose and spearmint/eucalyptus. Ancillary notes of shisha, vanilla and herbs. Full bodied on the juicy palate showing great density accompanied with medium-plus juicy acidity and grippy lingering tannins. flavors follow the nose showing ample hibiscus tea and rose notes that play well off the juicy dark cherry, cranberry sauce, plum, shisha, vanilla and eucalyptus notes. Notes of mocha and herbs also chime in. The finish lingers with grip Overall a great, juicy, dense Cab. Franc that should drink well for some time.
