Violets, cherry jolly rancher, strawberries, charcoal and graphite on the nose. Beautiful, delicate, sensual. Medium body, perfectly balanced. Somehow this wine tastes better in cold weather, especially on a rainy, gloomy night, with pasta, candles, and great company.

I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one impressed with this fabulous wine. Loved the heavy dose of the Cab Franc in this one. For me, it had a lot of the characteristics I like in a young Bordeaux (blackberry aromas, chalky tannins, long finish) but none of the characteristics I don't (it wasn't overly tannic, and the body was just right for a weeknight). Would definitely buy again. Heck- I may buy again in quantity. Really great value in this one. Back up the truck.

Tons of sediment on this one, definitively decant and filter. Wonderful pairing with pasta and meat sauce.
