Leather and peppercorn jump from the glass in this soft, strong wine, powerful in tannin and dusty earth. A gravelly, rocky component plays on the palate around waves of chocolate and black currant, finishing in herb.

The name is silly, but the wine is serious. The winemaker wisely blended in some Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot to add structure to Cab Franc's seductive fruit. It's rich in cherries and raspberries, with great acidity and tannins. It's pretty oaky, but the fruit stands up…

This elaborate wine offers delicious cherry-pie, mocha, red currant and sandalwood flavors. The tannins are smooth and flashy, and it's easy to drink. But it shows the limits of Cabernet Franc, which simply doesn't have the depth of Cabernet Sauvignon.
