A see through purple that indicates to me a textbook amount of extraction for this seductive and silky grape. A nose of black fruits, oak and black cherry. I have come across this profile before, but not in a Cabernet Franc. On the palate there is a really delicious black cherry component that mixes it up with violets. The tannins are well integrated yet offer a certain dryness that goes well with many foods. The mid palate and finish continue the tastes found initially and the wine rounds out with a decent mid length finish that has a tar component. I am really enjoying this wine, not just because I love Cab Franc, but because it adheres to some of the basic tenets of the grape yet goes into uncharted territory for me. 89 points from me and for $13 it is a good deal worth 4 stars.
