Delicious, lively, and so quaffable. Shy nose gives up crunchy cassis, underbrush, and whiff of machine oil and bell pepper. Dark, barky, bone dry flavors show cassis extract and clean stony minerality. Great acidity and a fair amount of chalky tannin provide structure. Will improve over the next 2-3 years. Got it for a song ($12) from garagiste.com.

Cab Franc the middle weight champion. This is the wine is perfect when you need/want something heavier than Pinot Noir but lighter than Syrah or Cabernet Sauvignon A delicious young wine that is supposed to age well.
