Butter, smoke lacking fruit to back it up. Not at all what I expected from this appellation.

This is an incredible value from the guys at balanced wine selections... Ridiculous deal for about $20.... If is very 'cab franc' with a musty (but clean) nose of dried plum, roast coffee, dark currant, and sage. It is savory and delicious with a velvety and rich mid palate (from a nice warm vintage in Samur champigny). Has some grip to it as well... The flavor a really linger on this beauty... It is super clean for how rustic it wants to be.... Complex and delightful stuff for around $20... Buy a case!!!!

Hit of brett upon opening but it blew off in a half hour to show deep, dark fruit, smoke, and herbs.

Herbal, raspberry, earthy, touch of citrus rind. Complex beyond its modest tariff. Really interesting.
