Strawberry and light pomegranate start and then Light raspberry and spice (faint cinnamon). Quite lovely. Nice depth. Long finish: White pepper and orange at the end. This is a wine that more wants you to come to him/her than runs up and gives you a sloppy kiss.

Over the hill. A bit astringen, not much on the palate. But I’ve had worse.

St. Nicolas son! Just such a wonderfully light interpretation of cab franc! Crisp green peppers, peppercorn, and blackberry.
