Top Notes For

9.1

Black fruits, dark chocolate, vanilla, with a tinge of violets on the nose. Quite juicy acidity on the palate, with firm tannins and extra mineral flavors of charcoal and campfire rocks. I have never heard of this wine so I am pleasantly surprised! Young now but 14% alcohol, so it should age nicely!

Whoa - inky cab franc with years to spare. Minimal secondaries; all purple/black fruit and oak. Rich, meaty, and lively. Needs food and time!
