Not complex, but correctly ripened flavors, tannin and acidity.

Bright, crimson red, fresh in the nose with dark berries & some tobacco leaf & green peppers. The magic happens on the palate. Great purity & great depth, good tension between the juicy acidity and the fruit in the mid palate, amazing tannin management - grippy, juicy, slightly edgy but w/o becoming rustic.
There’s character here, lots of great details and v. good flow.
A wonderful Cab Franc.

Intense, lacking pyrazine notes, slightly angular but quickly turning lush.
