Smooth, rich, cherry notes. Needs a little breathing room after opening but delicious with steak kabobs & dark chocolate.

Light@berry flavor with light spice. Enjoyable pre dinner wine with aged Gouda and truffle cheddar. This is a@rating for the cab franc not the zin:-)

Tasted blind, I would have called this Bordeaux it has so much granite-y minerality. But the aroma of sun-ripened blueberries should have tipped me off to California. A finish just beyond medium--one of my favorite California cab francs (one of my favorite grapes!)
