2 dimensional, not worth focusing on more than the basic dark fruit and light body. Light notes of cocoa.

Medium body, smooth tannins with hint of earthy plant characteristic of cab franc. Not overly tannic but dry and balanced.

Lighter maroon color than some of the Cab Franc I’ve had. Berry driven nose. Smells juicy. Easy drinking flavors. Supple. Tannins come on finish. Sleek and elegant. Nice bright acid cuts through. Would pair great with chicken or some cheddar cheese.

Dark color. Doesn’t smell that much. Hint of berry. Flavors are balanced and juicy. Flavors hit well. Fresh. Crisp. Nice cherry streak.

2019 vintage. Beautiful right out of the bottle. Full of tannin.
