A field blend of Cabernet Franc, Tannat and Malbec (50/25/25). Dense purple red, moderately to highly extracted pigment. A hint of butter, leaf, herb, armpit funk and spice in nose. Underripe and ripe raspberry and blackberry flavors, slightly sour finish with some seed bitterness. Rustic style, old school production but highly drinkable, even on first pouring. This is real artisanal product, for those unclear on the concept. After 30 minutes, black currant fruit leather flavor emerges. Wine remains somewhat tart after 60 minutes. Two hours later, cherry flavor emerges. If you like your wines fresh, look no further.

Funky and interesting. Not sure what to make of this. Worth trying.

Lovely, well balanced blend that tastes mostly like a cab franc to me from Willamette. Plum and simple spice. Very enjoyable lightly chilled.

I really like this wine. From the way all those 3 grapes were crushed and fermented together (very unusual) to nose, color and taste. I'm floored. Oregon really? Hell yeah
