Fresh, false effervescence out of the bottle that blows off with air. Not particularly green, not particularly fruity.

A rich, robust cab franc: raspberries, cherries, iron, graphite, purple flowers and funk. Tiniest hint of green/veg note. If you eschew "greener," lithe Chinons, look no further.

Cherry Point with Pole and Cass. Nice, but unexceptional. Would drink again.
