Really lovely, elegant expression. Vibrant and fresh, with a raspberry / mulberry / graphite palate and a pretty, chalky finish. Excellent value here...

Super solid $24 wine. This is a great representation of Cab Franc. Perfumed and elegant.

Young, but kicking. Boysenberry fruit meets rustic spice and pencil shavings. Med bodied with nice acid. Unmistakably cab franc.
