Community Tasting Notes 2

  February 7, 2010 - Bright purple in colour. A mix of black and red fruits on the nice nose, and a slight cedar note. More New than Old World on the palate, being fairly rich and full bodied. Lots of mainly red fruit again jump out, with a hint of oak as well, and considerable tannins. Dries out a bit at the end. Well made, but it's a little too modern for me: it tastes as much like CS than CF. But it should be better in a couple of years - it's still quite young (B+). Edit - on the second night, the texture of the wines improved (it became more silky), and I enjoyed it more overall. If you have this, wait 2-3 years.

  October 9, 2008 - Dinner with Mr. Brown and his wonderful wines: This wine is a winner. Fantastic cab franc. Very ripe, with lots of vanillan oak. But a brilliant, spicy herbal edge streak runs through the palate. Med+ body, with nice acidity. I think this will only get better as the oak integrates into this wine. 91-92
