Bought this with my own coin- extremely glad I did. While young, the Small Lot Cab Franc from Jake Busching opens on the nose more clearly than any number of Bordeaux that I have been lucky enough to try along its price point. In short: it’s masterful. The approach is a mouth-coating and luscious experience with depth for days and a personality that identifies more than simply a “Virginia Red”- but that of its own distinct and important character.#thjbeproud
