California, USA
Nice structure, but the flavor profile didn't work for me. The fruits seemed overwhelmed by a strong cinnamon accent. In the glass this smelled just like those scented pinecones at Christmas! Even though this is from California, I was hoping for just a bit more savory like red pepper or peppercorn.

smells of stewed plums, red apples, redcurrants, wood...on the palate: blah. just tastes like a basic California red blend- not much like cab franc.

Very mild nose & flavor. Probably a good red for those that don't like red.
