Sipping Fine Wine

A reasonable priced Cab Franc dominates wine blended with about 25% Merlot. Aromatic nose of fruit with some floral spice. On the palate big blackberry fruit flavors well integrated with the typical Cab Franc spiciness, balanced acidity fine tannins on medium finish. Will go better with food than alone.

#bordeaux - sourced Vin de Pays wine with 75% #cabernetfranc and 25% #merlot. Fresh medium-bodied blend with classic Cab Franc graphite notes, spice and lush acidity. Very approachable even without a famous pedigree.

Tasting class (Bordeaux) 12Oct18 - wine No.3
Earthy, somewhat of a spoiled fruit after taste. Smells great. Poured out.

Tight right out of the bottle. Opens, but not much. Acid, mulberry, earth and subtle spices. Notes of some woody herbs. Light bodied. Solid for the price, but not terribly interesting.
