Light to medium color. Average nose. Blend of 78% cab franc and 22% cab sauvig. The cab sauvig stands out pretty strong, and over bares the franc. Smooth short finish with very soft tannins. A nice wine for an evening meal. Would likely not hold up against stronger cabs, merlots. Maybe on the pace of a noir. A nice wine never-the-less. The pure cab franc is something to behold though and will be worth tasting on release.

Very tasty Cab Franc/Cab mix. Light and juicy, with raspberry & spice dominant flavors, this is a great weekday drink to pull out with the burgers. Can't wait for the Bel Canto later this year.

Mostly cab franc, tasty and juicy. A nice wine, but nothing outstanding.

I don't love it -- tasty but pretty light.

Medium bodied. It's probably quite good, but on a night when we were opening truly spectacular wines it couldn't hold its own.
