Very enjoyable. Flowers, funk, blackberries. Great acidity and earthiness. Tannins fairly silky.

The winery may not be the most picturesque but Pierre Jacques Druet makes some truly amazing Cab Franc. Full on, melted dark chocolate and wonderfully well structured blackberry and blueberry pie it also sweet beet root, gorgeous! In the mouth this is fresh and has subtle, dark fruit and dark chocolate tannins. Incredibly satisfying wine. 91pts

Bland cinnamon orange nose. Fantastic blast of flavor that ends abruptly. Flush of dialed sour blue fruits that seem picked far too ripe. Leaves a bland acidic sour mr yuck face. Awful.
