Excellent Franc. I was worried about the dominant oak from the nose, but the pallet is long and structured with plenty of grip on the finish. Fined-grain coffee tannin with some amount of vague red fruit.

Slightly roasted green bell peppers, dark dried red fruit, some cab franc funk, intermingled with some very nice oak. A wine that makes you come back for more.

Lots of fresh green bell pepper, cherry and dried red fruit with a small bit of smoke on the nose. Spicy on the palate with black pepper, red cherry, blackberry with medium + tannins, plentiful acidity but yet it's not that balanced and the finish falls much to bitter for my tastes.
