September 6, 2014 - Mineral notes with white pepper at the outset. Creative effort well worth trying.

May 25, 2013 - Willamette Valley for Memorial day weekend and a peak at 2012; 5/25/2013-5/26/2013: Very very intriguing stuff here. Leah seems very passionate about what she's doing here and I was very eager to try this. The fermentation on this wine was done in neutral oak. The aromas are very lean and mild. Soft palate entry with a sweet candied gummy fruit flavor and very soft textually. Lots of odd wet cracker flavor on the finish. I mean.. it tastes exactly like a wet cracker, nothing else. I was expecting this to be more mineral driven and acidic than it was, as it showed virtually none of that character. It was very soft and non offensive, but also showed no compelling character. One has to think whenever a wine like this shows up, they've been growing Cabernet Franc for a thousand years in France... I'm sure somewhere along the line they would have figured it out if making dry white wine from this grape is interesting, and there's probably a reason why this is the first commercially available white still Cab Franc. That said, I hope this can develop some interest in time and can become compelling.
