Didn’t notice the vintage till too late, but pleasant surprise: enveloping pillow of a cab franc, seamless soft tannins with the fine grittiness I love about the varietal. So not the end of its drinking window, though closer to it. Some importers’ wines I buy without question: Becky Wasserman (vía Martin Scott) is one of them.

Juicy, showing a hint of carbonic maceration by way of sl. confected berry character, but retains the classic tobacco, herbal notes of Cabernet Franc. Gentle tannins and refreshing acidity.
