Mildly fruity aroma, inky black and nearly opaque, dark blackberry and blueberry with mild tannins. Delicious.

Notes of tobacco, blueberry jam, pepper and licorice. Cab franc is not commonly bottled on its own and this one did justice to the fruit.

I love Cab Franc on its own without being used in blending. This is better than most.

A very easy drinking Cab Franc. It happened to pair perfectly with the dove/jalapeño poppers we made.

2013 vintage. Good for $38 plus discount. Good to drink on own and low alcohol content. Jammy and lingering finish.
