Silky, velvety, deep and apparently the dry phase others reported a year ago is gone. Smells and tastes like a good French Bordeaux. Still has a touch of heat and might peak in just about a year from now, but definitely in it's drinking window now

Dry, dry, dry! Lots of oak is sucking the moisture right out of my mouth. To me this wine is similar to olives and blue cheese; very delicious and intense but I would not fault anyone for not enjoying this.

My goodness this is dry. I can't remember the last time I've tasted a wine as dry as this. I get some dried cherry, potpourri, and bell pepper aromas and flavors. I'd like to think my other bottles will be better but I'm doubting they will be. We tried pairing this with lots of foods but nothing brought this around.

Fantastic cab franc. Full bodied, complex, great long finish. A bit dry and in a good way.

Pleasant aromas of dark fruit, ginger and light oak. I taste plum jelly and black pepper. Pleasant wine but overpriced.
