There's something nice about opening a bottle of wine knowing exactly what to expect. The dark fruits, green pepper, and some background funk were just perfect. No sharp notes in this one though which can sometimes be enjoyable, but great nonetheless.

Delicious and velvety. Tart cherry. Smooth as a baby’s bottom. Rose loved it!

Light and simple, but somewhat lacking. Can appreciate the notes but little body

Polished tannin and just the right amount of green to remind you it’s bourgueil. A lovely cab franc.

Very cab franc like in a good way, but not too exciting - nice hints of earth
