Black currant, bramble, iron, and black pepper. Good but not great. Hoping for more depth but would gladly drink this all the time

Fresh black fruit, herbal, a little savory, and some baking spice. Proper Loire Cab Franc

Good intensity but gritty and loamy so beware new world fans.

Earthy but smooth enough that the tannins are not overwhelming. It is my second time having this wine and I would buy and drink it again even though I usually prefer fruitier varieties.
