This is California Cab Franc and in a good way. Nothing subtle. Full fruit with a dash if savory and spice. Not showing even a bit of age at this point. Enjoy with red meat.

Extremely well-balanced and integrated #cabfranc - dark cherries, chocolate, herbs, and earthiness. So glad I cellared (aka hid this from my boyfriend in my wine fridge) for three years. ☺️
