CF. Gorgeous with dusty tannins and coffee grounds and red/black fruit and a hint of pepper. Great structure.

Fresh cab franc. Almost Gamay-like at first but the cab franc tannin asserts itself on the finish.

A bit of funk that blew off - then green pepper and a bit of grip. A little thin. Better with chicken or even fish.

The nose makes you think this will be on the rustic side. The palate is quite approachable and easy right away. More structure (tannin) than expected at the entry level, but this definitely has the texture to balance the generous fruit. Very good.

Love love. Earthy but not overly complex or dense. Just quite right between approachable and complex.
