A pleasant example of Cab Franc from California. Very youthful and needs time to open up a bit, but it is very pretty on once it does.

Cab Franc Blind Tasting: quite a bit of Brett which made some at the table hate it, but I loved it. Definitely tastes/smells super earthy and herbal w/ low alcohol, but I was really into it. Very Chinon-ish.

This is the second tasting of this wine. Way more black olive showing with amazing acid. Perfect food wine. Worked great with seafood.

Tartest CF I've ever had, from anywhere. Crunchy red fruit with a little dill on top. 2011 vintage.
