Here we have a clean deep reddish purple wine that on the nose is clean with a fresh fruit and floral finish. I get some fresh meadow smells from it also.    On the palate this so well-blended wine just blows me away with its velvety richness.  It comes off a bit dry with medium acidity, and higher tannins.  A medium bodied wine with a long finish that gives you red berry fruit, a hint of vanilla and some minerality.  The quality of this wine for the price is simply outstanding.  Some of these grapes come from vineyards dated back from the 6th century.  Cab Franc lovers—-you must try this exceptional wine!!!
