Mighty fine Cab Franc from NW North Carolina w/some age to it: bricking on a ruby/garnet color with soaring mint soaked cherry, white pepper, bell pepper, herbaceous & forest floor, mushrooms & damp Earth. Interspersed bolts of juicy acidity alongside chewy tannins, lacked focus & balance, but still showed fairly well. Steak & pommes frites - Yes Sir

Fruit and pepper. It's a little thin and there's not much else to it but it is Pleasant to drink.
