May 29, 2016 - Wonderful wine after about 60 minutes, was fully open at 90 minutes and started to fall off around 2 hours. The wine was absolutely amazing. Best vintage I have had in a while. P.S. used to help make these wines

February 7, 2016 - So bummed. This one was corked. Had it stored perfectly, and wanted to give it some time. The first bottle disappeared so quickly a few years ago, and I couldn't wait to see how it would evolve. Wasn't pretty.

Cabernet Franc From Different Places, Episode #406, 2/12/2008 (link) 86+ points(Larkin Cabernet Franc) #3; VaynerPAZZZZZ; COLOR-dark; NOSE-more New World aspects; little Oak Monster w/ Vanilla pack; still greenish; TASTE-solid tannins, good structured backbone; nice creaminess; great weight; very New World bomb; lots of Oak; not for me and a poor QPR; too much Oak & Vanilla; overdone; very one dimensional; not as much length as the other 2; it's half pregnant -- it's a Cab Franc trying to be a Cabernet Sauvignon; RP-92; GV-86+
