6 years in this 2011 cab franc is really coming into its own. Rich, full tobacco, raspberry and pepper coat the tongue, with that pepper really coming on in the finish. Tannic and dense, this is for the serious cab franc fan. Yum!!

Rich and full! Aromas and flavors of dark raspberry, tobacco and coffee. Hint of black pepper and vanilla on the long lasting finish. Big, Ripe and tannic. Pleasant surprise.
