Medium pale ruby , wide garnet rim . This shows some development with porcini , sandalwood , bitumen , black tea and some sweet blackberry and red cherry . On the palate a bit more of the blackberry , cherry and sous bois , with herbal hints , quite rounded and juicy but with balanced acidity and still gritty tannin. Slightly warming alcohol , so would drink this a little on the cooler side . There is a liquorice and tar like tinge on the good length finish . This is drinking well now, though needs a bit of time in the glass, and will continue to show well over the next 5-10 years or so , perhaps longer . If not the most complex or structured Cascina Francia this makes up for it with its attractive , heart on sleeve personality, and is a great choice to open at the moment . This was still going the day after , bit more dark fruit on the nose and saline , mineral on the palate, still grippy tannins . — 6 days ago

Just missing a giant bowl of pasta. For $13 you cannot go wrong. Plums and blueberries with nice acidity. — 3 days ago

15 year old fruits as if they where picked yesterday. Firm but friendly tannines, tar, roses and campfire ash. Deep, compelling and complex. Outstanding! — 2 months ago

Succulent and bursting. Strong cherry, tar and grounded beautifully. The juice that powered the afternoon Boggle game. — 3 days ago
