What could possibly go better with Sausage & Peppers than a wine that smells like..........SAUSAGE & PEPPERS!!!!!!
PS It's got nice acid too.

Thank you @Rajiv Ayyangar for opening during his birthday brunch! Officially this is my oldest cab franc ever. This was pyrazine-forward with all sorts of green olives and roasted bell pepper, but plenty of dried blackberries and roses still hanging on. There is some coarse tannin still kicking that makes me want to drink this with a steak.
