Good stuff. Tasted better after having been open 24 hours. Would buy again but not particularly special.

Very pure taste - little oak or other flavors - you really get the cab franc finish, and that's what I was looking for. Will be purchasing this one again soon!!!

Meaty nose. Pretty basic palate structure w/a little dirt on the finish.

Pleasant surprise here. Another cheapie, but a noisy one. It sings for attention. Think Ian Mackaye, a little out of step with the world, don't drink: that would be cannibalism. Don't smoke: not overly oaked,. Don't.....WTF! Why? ....well at least you are f***ing trying. The F being Franc.

A little on the basic side, but still enjoyable. Had a great nose of green bell peppers, and was better the second day.

Blackberry dry, Smoky finish , medium intensity, light tannins (a tannin-sensitive friend did not get stuffed up drinking it).
