So this is nice and it reminds me of Napa or Sonoma cab franc compared to chinon. This is definitely not campania aglianico but it is a nice interpretation with California flare. Nose is great, but palate is all over the place. Tobacco, prunes, chocolate, berry jam, a touch of herbs and mild tannins.

Everyone liked this one better than the Sangiovese but I didn't. It was a little too earthy for me
