Vintage 2022 | 80% Cabernet Franc from 30 y old vines and 20% Tannat from 150 y old vines. The CF brings a lovely frivolousness, the T structure. Basque Country nearby the Spanish border. | paired with a deerburger and salad.

60% Tannat, 40% Cabernet Franc. We're clearly confused as we're drinking Basque wine with Spaghetti & Meatballs. Everything is actually quite delicious.

Pine tree and menthol in the nose. Dark color. Like drinking a Kool and a huge wine. Great with steak.

Glass-staining garnet purple. Moderate nose of dark fruit, earth, menthol. Palate confirms the nose with menthol becoming more like wood spices. Medium full body, firm tannins, medium plus acidity, medium long dark finish. In a great place and reddy for beef stew!
