Cab franc is not my top grape but man is this good. It's got the balsamic and the green pepper but that's drenched in the juiciest juice.

Blackberries, green bell pepper skin, pencil shavings, white pepper, game, balsamic. Acid driven balanced out by minimal dusty tannins, light/medium bodied, juicy/slightly silky texture, peppery finish. Great biodynamic producer, pairs with just about everything.
