Michigan blend of Cabernet Franc and Blaufrankish. Garnet colored with purple highlights. Interesting musty aromas and flavors of red fruit, black pepper spice, and a hint of fresh herbs. Nice balance of fruit, alcohol and acidity. Reminds me of Chinon.

Not bad for this northern Michigan wine. Reminds me of being on the Lake Michigan peninsula. #puremichigan
