    Smoky leaf tobacco aromas are typical of young Cabernet Franc. And this wine, aged only in tank, is certainly much too young. It's full of brittle tannins and acidity that needs to soften. Wait until late 2015 before drinking.

    Typical tobacco and herb-flavored wine, not for aging, but with red plum flavors and light tannins. It has a pronounced element of acidity.
