Blackberry, wet gravel & vanilla bean on the nose. Tastes like unripe blackberries, red currant, & bitter chocolate chalk. Gluggy but grippy. Dig it.

Super bright and refreshing. Nose of black cherry, yeast, iron, vegetal. On the palate, cherry, white pepper, green bell pepper, mineral. Very nice cab franc!

Hanami is year after year one of the best values I can find. I’m careful with Cab Franc the way I am with Chardonnay. The good ones are beautiful and the bad ones are whiplash.

This is deep and complete and a textural therapy. Smells like cinnamon and cocoa powder and wild strawberries. Tastes like raspberries and blood oranges.

Feels like sweat pants right out the dryer; or melted milk chocolate.

Quite an interesting blend. Bright balanced and medium body. Blackberry and the plum notes.
