Herbs on the nose. Nice red fruit and light tannin on the palate. Soft and easy for young cab franc.

Chocolaty, medium bodied, bright red color. Just enough tannin to not make it feel flat. A bit of alcohol on the, but still a nice drinking wine.

Always solid! Still reserved on the nose and palate after 10yrs. Medium plus depth. Dark fruit with hints of vanilla and oak. Surprised it faded fairly rapidly.
