Pretty good cab franc, recommended by the winemaker at Phifer Pavitt. Exceptional value! Light and fruit forward with a lovely extended finish.

red cherry, blackberry, black cherry, allspice, black pepper, hint of valet with dried herbs like thyme, tarragon, high tannin and super dry finish. Tasted smoother on second day.

Stacia greatly enjoyed this bottle as part of her birthday celebration. So far a “favorite franc”, with surprising complexity, structure, and length and evolving bright to dark fruit flavors and just a touch of pepper and a slight velvet finish. Tremendous value, though not the cheapest franc (that’s be the 94-pt digurretti) we’ve tried in this little venture.

Great aroma. A little unflavorful on the palate.

A good dry, light red. Substitute for a Pinot noir if fruit forward isn’t what you’re interested in.
