BLackbear Orchard vineyard. Over the top green chili aromas. I swear it's like pepperjack cheese. Extremely unique but not for everyone.

I am a fan of francs. This one didn't disappoint. Solid structure with green pepper and leathery, stemy characteristics. Big 15.5 alcohol, which drank like 12.5. Juicy, tannic and spicy. Wonderful wine
