Very simple but very tasty can franc. It does not have the green vegetable character which this grape can have. It's more Pinot noir body than heavy but that's not a negative . Starts strong but the finish does lack a bit. You can tell this a well made wine from a winery which is one to watch for. Rating is for the grape from this region from a newish winery, so don't think it's a comparison with a Loire cab franc. That is a different beast.
