F&$@!!! This is great. A complex, ripe, and structured Cab Franc with herb & tobacco that can stand up to a Fiorentina steak. Heaven.

Dry a little too sharp for my preference, but has nice tobacco, violet, and raspberry.

Outstanding Tuscan Bordeaux-style blend (led by Cabernet Franc) that features aromas of raspberries, spices, violets and rose petals. Flavors of cassis and black cherries with hints of leather and tobacco. Subtle wine that is incredibly balanced.

Ripe blueberries and an aged cigar that has not been smoked. Maybe a tad bit of incense.
