Purple in color this cab franc has a nose of red and black fruit with black fruit aromas in the lead along with red plum, strawberry and raspberry.

On the palate the dry red echoes the suggested aromas on the nose.

Medium acidity and medium-plus tannin assert themselves mid-palate through to the finish radiating out to the sides of your tongue.
