Blueberry cobbler, delicate vanilla/spice. Simple, but delicious

Vegetative bell pepper, dried red fruit (currant?), some tannins left. Delightful.

Ripe dark fruit, cherry and a fair amount of oak. Black pepper. Nice acid balances the higher alcohol. Tannins are softer than expected. Great cab franc with an unmistakable napa note.
