Uncorked an allowed to breathe for an hour, followed over 3.5 hours. Early on the wine was backwards and disjointed, and really needed 60 to 90 minutes to begin opening up.
Two hours later the nose is heavily charted oak, Caramell, vanilla over dark fruits. There’s a nice balance of heft and fruit on the pallet, with some classic cab Franc green pepper, no real spice or pepper notes. Wine is in a good place with the air time allowed tonight. Will gas off half the bottle for and see what Awaits tomorrow!

Followed over 2 days. Day 1 showed modest bell pepper, red fruit, faint strawberry. Nitro'd overnight the wine added darker fruit. Decent offering, will open remaining bottle late 16.

This is a Cab Franc? It's super jammy, fruity, dark red, 15.4% alcohol. Could be a keeper for a few years. As in drinking this, it's opening up nicely :)

Decanted and consumed over the next three hours. Another disappointment from the 2012 Kenefick releases. Much too cloying and lack of tannic backbone.
