August 31, 2020 - Our last bottle, decanted off its sediment and served immediately. Aromas of plum, herbs, chocolate & florals. Softened tannins with flavors of dark berry fruit and herbal green qualities. This has always been a delightful bottle of cab franc.

March 28, 2020 - At fifteen years this is at the apex of its drinking profile and window, has life left but will not improve with further aging, dark garnet color, medium-full bodied, nicely integrated and balanced blackberry and black raspberry and tangy cherry fruits with notes of kirsch, mocha, tangy spices, sweet tobacco, hints of soy and herbs turning to a smooth pleasant lingering finish with nice balance of acidity and tannins.

September 26, 2015 - 4th Saturday Brown Bagger (Rich's & Dana's): Opaque inky crimson color with notes of coffee and dark fruit with a green, herbal overtone. Balanced, with abundant fruit and herbal/green Franc qualities on the palate. Lengthy finish. Easy to pick out as the Keenan knowing it was in the lineup.
