This is the 'tindery' Cab franc / sauv blanc blend. Interesting enough, the sauv shows by the bucket load with a semi-slippery initial texture until the grainy greenish tannin from the Franc kicks in. The herbaceous notes from the sauv only add to how herbaceous Franc can be. It shows a lot of black cherry, sour raspberry and cut green herbs. If you look at it deeply enough it does show some guava and lychee notes from the sauv but they're probably not even worth mentioning. Co-ferment of the two I'm lead to believe, approach with an open mind, it can throw you about a bit. At $38 a bottle, bit of a gamble in my opinion, especially for something as experimental as such — 9 years ago

I'd like to make wine like this when I grow up! Just enough skin contact to keep things interesting. — 11 years ago

Holy crap this is some moreish riesling! Rosewater and brown lime cordial nose leading to a soft, broad palate of citrus, florals, minerality and a gentle acid zing to clean up the finish. Yum! — 8 years ago
