		<description>Interesting, very interesting indeed.

When I first opened this wine and poured a glass the light colour of the wine struck me as different. Cab Franc&#039;s are usually a lot darker red than this. The wine has the look of a Gamay more than a Cab Franc.

The nose is not powerful but gave hints of cherry, and some earthy characters.

It&#039;s a light to medium bodied wine with good balance. Semi dry which good acidity. Good cherry fruit taste that linger on the finish.

Very light tannins that I only notice near the end of the finish. It would appear that this wine didn&#039;t get much time on the skins or in a barrel. 

I usually like a Cab Franc to be bigger than this, but I like this one. Everything about this wine is lighter and it all works together in balance.

This one is good all on it&#039;s own. Makes an excellent sipper.</description>
