A really zesty wine that is both drinking well now and will age. Keeps changing as it gets exposed to more and more air.Black ruby purple color. The first night, it showed mostly the typical mineral oil, toasted walnut oil, and brambly underbrush I associate with Cab Francs from this northerly clime. Then after two days under a Vacu-Vin, it started to display a lot more tangy, black cherry fruit. It kept evolving over that third night, hitting notes of licorice and barnyard at various times, all the while keeping the faith with the black cherry fruit. Fantastic acids, keeping this thing tangy and electric on the palate. Bone dry, fresh, medium-bodied, soft-textured, and possessing a really pure, medium long finish. Very engaging. A-. Was $25.99 from Winex.com. Imported by Aliane Wines, San Diego.
