For a second wine, this is pretty brawny stuff, particularly for a 2009. More like the style of a 2010. The tannins are predominant right now, maybe because of the large portion of cab franc. If I had more of this, I wouldn’t touch it for another two years.

This has fleshed out nicely over the past year. Delicious bing cherry and plummy notes. No hurry on this one.
