From friends in Michigan. I don't think it traveled well, but I have to say once we let it open up, it started to show better. Super fun to try new stuff like this that is not from CA or abroad.

Now classified as a red blend - 60 % Cab Franc, 30 % Cab Sauv, 10 % Merlot. Color not as dark as you might expect. Delightful strawberry fragrance. Smooth. Very likable. January 2021.
