The Cab Franc is very evident here. It's a touch green, a little funky, and the nose evokes dried Corvina. This one feels wild and free. A great deal of interest here. The folks are nice who pour the stuff in the tasting room, and I'll be looking on with interest where they take the brand in the future. This brand would definitely benefit from more wild branding to match what's in the bottle (if they can reproduce that wildness year to year).
