Didn’t notice the vintage till too late, but pleasant surprise: enveloping pillow of a cab franc, seamless soft tannins with the fine grittiness I love about the varietal. So not the end of its drinking window, though closer to it. Some importers’ wines I buy without question: Becky Wasserman (vía Martin Scott) is one of them.

Juicy, showing a hint of carbonic maceration by way of sl. confected berry character, but retains the classic tobacco, herbal notes of Cabernet Franc. Gentle tannins and refreshing acidity.

Closed with big herbal note to start, but opening up into a something really floral, fresh, mineral, and pretty.
