The flavors of oak and cherries stand out in this fruity, softly appealing wine. It's almost like a pastry tart, with the smoky-sweet pie crust. It's delicious and appealing, although it could show a bit more depth and complexity.

There are some exquisite flavors in this Cab Franc: cassis, cherries, raspberries, cocoa, smoky oak and a rich array of dusty crushed brown spices. The wine is fully dry, with finely meshed tannins, but the main quibble is that it's too soft to be completely balanced.
