2017 vintage. Smells like a so-called "natural" wine (and that is not a compliment). Better in the mouth, simple easy-drinking. Decent wine at 9 euro, but wouldn't buy again.

For the price, and the variety, it's a great freaking buy.

Earthy, juicy savory Cab Franc. Awesome value for every day drinking

The lightest Cab Franc I’ve ever had with a nice dry cranberry smoothness.
