Has a ferocity & rawness to its tannins that, despite its 12$ price tag & ‘simple’ profile, bear well with the bottle age. Much better day 2. Bell pepper & delicious in its own right.

Diffuse & underdeveloped, but nimble and stony, too.

Sour fruit and touch of herbal pepper note. Good easy drinking lunch wine

I’ve had a few bottles of this. It’s $12-14, first of all. The first night it comes off as a pretty basic bistro wine. Good acid, small tannins with some tack, straight up blackberry, very juicy. The next day the fruit turns more to ripe sour cherry and violets explode in the nose, it gets really perfumed. There is a perfect roasted green pepper note (which I happen to love) and Lots of spice on the finish the second day.

Smooth though leaves me wanting more spice and/or funk

Too, too noisy and barky, more acidity than I’d been ready for in a sip. #vinewine

Light and acidic and glou glou. I'm into it for something "regular"

Unpretentious, fruit forward, peppery, maybe a bit simple, but pleasant

Super light, peppery, nice fruit. I think I love the Cabernet franc profile. A good transitional wine from spring to summer

Tastes very young, but very complex. Terrific with food.
