Woodsy, dark fruit aromas. Similar flavors, fresh acid and a tannic tickle. Longish #delicious

I gave this an 8.8 last year - same vintage, but perhaps something happened over the past year? ❤️

17. Remarkable longevity. Plenty of fruit, M+ length, very cab franc.

Nice! Real rose character somehow. Not a white yet clearly not a red. Opens up nicely. Good flavor throughout the mouthful with some good follow through. A hint of bubblegum? ABV 13, Wine Cask $9.99.

Medium weight; not a lot of structure; tannins a moot point ; somewhat dry peppery finish
