Really fun to try this Cab Franc/Mencia/Abouriou blend. Lots of dark fruit, tilled earth, and organic funk. Tannins out the wazoo!

These hiyu wines continue to expand my knowledge of what wine can be. This is brawny and earthy and floral and forest all at the same time. It’s amazing how it changed with pesto pasta. There’s a smell of fresh cherries and almonds. Good tannins and mouthfeel. There is this peppery earth meat flavor that is just fascinating. I love it but it is not typical of any wine I’ve ever tried.
