Tight. Some astringency but not in a "cabfranc" stemmy way. Needs to open up? Definitely needs food. Delicious acidity.

Enjoying with a steak au poivre.

Substantial cab franc, granite/stone, graphite, leather, firm tannins. Would like to try this vintage again in a few years

At $16 this is such great value. Surprisingly light and refreshing body despite earthiness and spice. Balanced acidity.

dark brambly fruit- blueberry, boysenberry. hint of clove/vanilla spice from the cot but balanced out by the tart acidity if the cab franc. super fresh with a bite and enough tannin to keep it from ‘juicy’ levels.
