Ruby with aromas of red and black fruits, herbs and sweet floral pepper spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with floral herbs, oak and black pepper. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, toasty oak and herb pepper spice.

Good Cab Franc but needs to age another few years or so. Dark red fruit, oak and slight pepper notes.

Haven’t had a good cab in a long time. This one fits the bill.

Cab Franc. Not everyone’s favorite but this one is one of the better ones. To me it is a good wine that needs a little more aging
