Nice cab franc, rich dark fruits (black currant), crushed rock (maybe wet rock?), great acidity, some detritus and/or a little barnyard...relatively quick finish, but with great acid holding on to make the mouth water for the next sip. Solid wine for the price.

A very light cab franc. Seems like it comes from a cooler region with its high acid. Nose does not really match the pallet
