Cab Franc. Musty, funky for 1st hour, followed by fruity cherry/bell pepper goodness.

Let the adventure of Paris commence. Simple, but good, with a mineral finish.

High acid, great balance. Great wine for $11. Definitely find it again.

Solid young CF from France. Strawberry and slight funky olive on the nose. Rich dark cherry and green pepper. Will be special if you lay it down. Lots of acid. I liked it more than the 2012 Olga. Let it sit in bottle for 45 minutes after first glass.
