One of the most easy-drinking Cab Francs I've ever had. Light with green bell peppers, Granny Smith apples, and cranberry concentrate, with dusty tannins.

Earthy and funky on the nose, with bright fruit coming through. Surprisingly light and easy to drink Cab Franc.

Light and funky on the nose, with fresh cut flowers and licorice. Jammy red in colour. Funky, ripe green grapes, melon, and allspice in taste. Super light for a cab franc.
