If you like overproof whiskey this might be your jam. Labeled as 14.9, feels like 18.2, barely a whiff of green pepper, some cocoa, fruit and HEAT. Left two singed nose hairs in my glass after the first whiff

Pencil shavings on nose. Full body, dry, nice tannins. Blueberries, black cherries on palate. Excellent Cab Franc! 94/100.

Delicious! Green bell pepper jumps out of the glass, with a hint of blueberry and perhaps a whiff of petroleum. The green pepper carries through to the palate, and joins black cherry, boysenberry and some spicy earthiness and brambles. Great complexity--this one makes you think and savor on every sip!
