Lively Loire Cab Franc. Ripe raspberries, white pepper, and funk on the nose. Palette sees tart cranberries, overripe raspberries, cured meat/animal fat, some funky wet hay. Aftertaste is super long- minutes with red fruit and lots of cured fat/funkiness. Interesting but s bit thin and lacking some of the inorganic power to take it to next level. However at sub $20, it’s a deal if you like cab franc!

Fragrant like spices or woodsy, autumnal cologne. Nose also of cranberries and maraschino cherries. Blood orange on the tongue with menthol, pine needles, and a hint of cinnamon. Long leg!

This is my new favorite . Second bottle even prettier than the last. Raspberry leaf and pepper notes stand out. Echoes burgundy. Love.
