Has those green hints but they are well integrated and don’t take over the wine. The fruit is still very present.

Blackberry, cherry, cranberry, spice, loamy earth, oak and hints of tobacco. Great structure and moderate tannins.

Wonderful example of cooler climate cab franc. Not green but very earthy and smoky. Good dark fruit notes. This is how a FLX CF should be.

At 13.5% it felt hot, but that may be from 2+ days of tasting all low alcohol wines. Need to taste again.
