Top Notes For
Ray Vanderhoff

Dark/murky ruby color. Aromas of violets/lilacs, smoke, green pepper and cherry fruit. Flavors of red currants, raspberries and cherries, tobacco, peppercorns and vanilla. Medium length and very earthy finish with a noticeable green note. Medium body and tannins. A bit light on acidity and texture. Respectable.

This cab franc is decent, but not worth the price, in my opinion
