I like it, very good, not great, but a great daily wine. Easy drinker. Blackberry, smoked bacon , a little cherry and licorice. Not a top Bordeaux, but pretty damn good for the price! I wish I had more.

Purchased from vineyard on release, stored in perfect conditions. Still young and fresh tasting. Smooth tannins, black cherry, blackberry, licorice, dark chocolate, cedar/oak, touch of earth and mint. The cab franc makes the wine. Still has years.

I like this. 14 years old. Not complex, but minimal signs of aging. Very fruity. Dark ruby color, still bright on the rim, plum and red cherry nose. Black fruit on the palate with a touch of menthol. Finish is short, but pleasant. Easy drinker with pizza and dark chocolate.
