Just ripe, if not slightly over, red berries and cherries leap out of the bowl along with earthy elements of potting and damp leaves. Hibiscus flower, black tea leaves and baking spice round out the nose. On the palate, sweet bell pepper notes intermingle with more florality for a layered mouth feel that goes perfectly with charred meats. A very special cab franc from a damn fine Yakima winery.

Wild strawberries and grass on the nose, high acidity and the right amount of earthy ness from the Cab Franc, sweet blue berries from the Merlot , and some cocoa and a hint of Vanilla ...
A really complex and superb wine ...

Started of being pretty green & earthy (it is Cab Franc, afterall) but after about an hour, or so, it really opened up quite nicely. Tons of red fruit & licorice on the nose & palate to go along with some of those herbal notes. Give it an hour or two to decant & your patience will be rewarded.
