I am wondering about the high ratings for this wine. It tastes like grape juice with alcohol. Fruit forward with no tannins. Or depth.

Light bodied. Fruit forward but missing the tannins and pepper that I would expect from a cab franc. Virtually no flavors on the finish. No complexity.

Easy drinker that paired well with tomatoes. Full and very complex.
