Dark fruit. Currant. "Burnt sugar". Some red fruit on the palate. Vanilla. Round yet bright with medium + acidity. Long finish. Had with smoked lamb and rosemary fingerling potatoes.

Wow!! Best holiday wine - red fruits, roses, only slightly vegetative. Perfect.

I can’t pin point the one thing that makes me love cab franc, because it’s everything.

Jammy. Has the feel of a full mouth of grapes. Light acid

Full, rich. I think. I said I think cab franc is my favorite grape. Inky in color. Smooth. A bit spicy with peppery nose. Fruit forward. Go for it!
