Such a profoundly concentrated Cab Franc with gorgeous wild blackberry fruits. Medium framed, has some burliness too- perhaps its that concentration but it also throws some sediment even in the first pour. So decant. Solair importer.

Jalapeños, jalapeños, jalapeños. Wild berries and wet stones by the waterfall... Great acidity and diminished tannins. Light body.

High acidity, gamey, bell pepper...classic and not as funky as some of these get. Really nice.

Fruity on the palate. Horse manure/hay on the aromatics. If that's your jam.

Needs a couple hours to open up. Softer and lighter than most Cab Francs with nice red fruit. (raspberry, cherry, etc).

Surprisingly elegant for a Cab Franc. (Unsurprisingly delicious.) Rustic fruit and spice give way to more definition when decanted: cherries, blueberries, raspberries, and baking spice are flowed by gamey meat and some brett.

Rustic for sure but after 1-2 hrs in glass it is very balanced with blackberries and cherries. Goes super well with smothered chicken with roast veggies.

Delicious - drink on a rainy night while someone you love cooks dinner.
