Cedar,smoke, strawberries, prunes, solid tannins and acid. Not super fruity. Dry. Nice balance. Drank with beef and braised leeks and it paired beautifully.

Dark fruit nose, flavors of blackberry and smoke. This wine isn't too complex, has medium to heavy tannins, a long finish, and is quite enjoyable. Might not be really sophisticated but holds it's own against spicy food and has the backbone you want from a Cab Franc.

Well-balanced nose and palate of mild red berries, smoke, herbs and integrated tannins with a floral and acidic touch.
