Cranberry, violet, under ripe strawberry, sour cherry, earth, black pepper, and bell pepper. Lots of crunchy, juicy acidity and well integrated tannin. Not as ripe and black cherried as I remember the last vintage I had, but still delicious and a great value. This is a wine I will continue to look out for to have on hand.

Down the middle 100% Cabernet Franc. Drinking well now straight from pulling the cork. From a 375.
