Why does good cabernet franc sometimes remind me of the smell of my mom's lipstick when I was a kid?

Light on its loafers, green twinges, ultra fresh gulpable juice. Per usual for Broc. Love their reds.

Bright fruit with lots of green bell pepper and smoke. Light highly acidic. Great example of Cab Franc. Way to go Chris!
