Tobacco leaves, green peppers, light tar, and sour cherry dominate this Cabernet Franc's expressive mouthfeel of moderate tannins. Very little scent - similar to the pallet if anything. This is a wine you have to be in the mood for, but when you are, it's quite nice. Worth a try if interested in expanding your horizons.
