Very good Cab Franc dominant CA blend. But not worth the price tag. Plenty half this price and just as enjoyable.

Well-balanced. Opened the bottle 2 hours prior to consumption, very soft tannins. Fruit dominant nose.
Spicy on the palate.

Was too cold when we opened it since we had just removed it from the cellar due to raisiny Peter Michael Cab...Blackbird was solid but not memorable.

Great wine once again with dominant CF fruit. Excellent nose, dark ruby red color, excellent pallet with dark berry fruit and a great finish. Paired with pizza on my wife fantasy date so a great wife's jam!!!!

Retail $135. 82% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. I do not get a ton of samples with retail prices north of a hundred bucks, but giddy-up! Fairly dark in the glass with blackberry, black pepper, and just a hint of green pepper (which I love). The palate is, surprisingly, even more inviting: rich red berry fruit, more than tantalizing acidity, and several layers that evolve well beyond the first sip. Peppery, fruity, but also reserved. Yowza. Decidedly angular instead of muscular, this gets a Whoa. Delicious but worth the tariff? That's a tough one for me since, well, I am a fairly cheap son of a biscuit maker.

This was coiled up at first, but soon released some classy aromatics and a European-styled savory tastiness, driven by ripe Cab Franc.
I agree with Kteelak_Buffalo's impression that this is transitioning from primary state, and in a pleasing and complex way, and I don't think it will take long to be in its best drinking window, likely 2021-2023 and beyond. 92-93+

A bit passed its prime. Blackberry, raspberry, cassis and cedar on the nose. Slightly hot on the nose and palate, probably because fruit has faded. Still good with food but if you have bottles, drink up.

Loads of sweet fruit and some Cab Franc character on the nose. Very rich, extremely full bodied and rich. This is loaded for bear, but doesn't seem heavy or leaden. 93

Nose: great nose of plum and raisin
Taste: blackberry, light oak, the cab franc really stands out but I love the light tannins of cab Sauvignon. Nice finish. Really good wine that should last for a while.

Color is deep, dark but a young bright color.
Some powerful earth, fruit and alcohol on the nose.
Medium to strong tannins still. Mild fruit. Seems like it's transitioning. Plenty of time left if you keep it in the cellar.

Now, 2 hours later after decanting, the wine SHINES!!!! Fruit comes to life. Delicious!

Wine is drinking very well. Opens with black cherry almost tangy. Moves on to leather and lead pencil on finish. Good structure.

Sunfish Cellars Napa Valley Extravaganza (Sunfish Cellars/I Nonni Minneapolis, MN): Dust, floral, chalk, blackberries, tobacco, tar and oak. Heavy wine and powerful finish. This will benefit with patience. Drink 2024 to 2032. 92 to 94.

Served blind
Deep clear ruby
Ripe tart red currant, moderate tannins, not overly oaked.
At ten years this if coming together very nicely.
But I would choose to hold.

I popped and poured because of lack of time before I ate. Blackberry, black currant, and cedar jump out on the nose. Well-balanced on the palate. Good acidity and good with food. I paired it with vegan chili. Long finish. If you have bottles, they can stand more cellaring, but it is quite drinkable right now.
