Smells like agave as in mild Mezcal or good tequila, has structure, dark red crunchy fruit, and fresh and zippy. This wine is delicious. 150 year old vines of Hondarribi Beltza. Considering Cabernet Franc's French Basque Country origins, I don't think it's a stretch that Hondarribi Beltza is from similar genetic origin at all. Awesome value.

Stewed blackberries, violets, bell pepper, olives, pottery soil, clay, mint. Vibrant acidity, muted smooth velvet tannins, juicy slightly silky texture, fruity earthy finish. Pretty closed off, needed nearly 6 hours to come out of its shell.

Fresh Strawberry,Raspberry, bell pepper and sweet spices.
Juicy, herbal, bright acidity and fine tannin follow by sour raspberry, green tea and minerality on the finish. 13% ABV.
Pair well with grilled meat by the ocean
