Community Tasting Note

    July 8, 2017 - This is an interesting rendition of Cabernet Franc that has one foot in California, and the other in the Loire. Spicy and floral tones (from the 50% whole cluster perhaps) combine with ripe red fruit. There is not a ton of structure, but what there is seems mostly from the soft acids. I picked up a hint of green tobacco, but none of the more aggressive green that some Loire Franc can have. Easy to drink, this is worth following over the short to medium term. I will be interested to see what happens as the vines mature a bit.
