A just fine wine. Not bold for a red (should have known from the 90% merlot) but the cab franc adds some spunk. Raspberry jam, blackcurrant, and a little leather/tobacco earthiness on the nose, but mild jammy fruit on the palate. Less than medium tannins, low acidity, a tiny bit of sweetness on the tongue. This would be a good wine for someone who doesn’t like a bold, complex red or maybe thinks they don’t like red wine. An easy drink that doesn’t ask anything of you. I probably won’t buy again, but I’ll enjoy the rest of the bottle and it’s tasty enough for the price.

Bland, overly earthy, but somehow no super dry which is nice. Short on the palette, I have a bad nose, but I can’t smell much.
Not my favorite. But not gross.
