Beautifully aromatic. I could smell this all day. Light on the palate, pure red fruit with some sage and Rosemary. Good structure. Very approachable. Gorgeous cabernet franc.

A good wine not great very light finish and medium body nothing special a smokey raisin flavor and a plum essence. Not much on nose or mid palate
