90% Cabernet Franc. Crisp with a hint of citrus. Chalky finish lingers nicely.

Wet leaves dirt and more unripe funkiness that I'm not in the mood for.

Tasted in 2014: Aromas of strawberries, cinnamon, red flowers, and minerals that turn to cherries and raspberries on the palatte. Solid.

Strawberry and spices underscored with some fantastic minerlity on the nose. Well balanced, but also somewhat one dimensional.
