Damn tasty. For whatever it's worth, gives some of my favorite Chinons a run for their money.

One of California's true renegades, @Chris Brockway makes a dizzying array of wines out of his small Berkeley winery. His deft hand with making nuanced, food-friendly wines shines in this uber-quaffable Cabernet blend. 85% whole cluster Cabernet Franc gives brightness and #minerality plus 15% Cabernet Sauvignon adds darker-toned fruit notes and grounding depth.

Sweet blue fruit & green pepper. Out of the ordinary for an American Cab Franc. Nicely done!

Dark ruby color with low key cherry, cassis, bell pepper, and some tobacco notes. On the palate, it approaches medium-bodied and is fresh, and soft with juicy black cherry, and cassis flavors with dusty sweet tannins. Gulpable and delicious! Very good value at $20
Blend of 85% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon
