June 23, 2016 - Consistent with previous notes. I wonder if they have mixed a little Merlot in with this because although it has a great CF profile, is has a lusher mouth than most CFs I have tried.

November 6, 2015 - Delicious stuff. Nice nose of bright cherry, bell pepper, tobacco, spicy oak. On the palate, sour cherry, tobacco, herbs, spice. Long finish with nice acidity and great grip.

May 20, 2015 - Vintage Select Industry Tasting - Firehouse in the Heights: Talk about bang for the buck. Nice nose of cherry, tobacco, and cedar. On the palate, bright cherry, cedar, tobacco, and mint. Long finish with plenty of grip. Very well made, I would have thought this to be from the Loire if I didn't already know. Tremendous wine, great bargain.

December 14, 2014 - Very well made, 100% Cabernet Franc that retains Old World finesse and elegance. Black fruit and a pleasant vegetal and herbal component are rounded off by well integrated oak spice. 14% alcohol, nice smooth tannins. A very interesting, small production wine which appears to have some aging potential. Definitely worth trying.
