Good example of Cab Franc - tobacco,blackberry and herbs with added feature of dried raisin- med tannins and acidity. Had the next day with grilled green beans and mushrooms with sweet barbecue chicken and it was a fantastic pair

Green pepper, vegetative nose. Coffee, berry spice. Good tannins (steak) lingering tannin finish.

Black pepper on the nose, bags of blackberry on the palate and a smooth silky finish with light medium tannins. Deep full bodied wine.
