2009 vintage. Didn't think I'd like this as much as I did. Very cab franc herbal but not green or lean. Beautiful fruit.

Really loving Arcanum, especially this cab franc! Full on pyrazine but perfectly balanced by a strong red/blue fruit presence. Tobacco and spice round it out for the non-fruit characteristics. Plenty of extra tannins promise another many years of quality drinking!
