Blackberry, menthol, gentle toast on the nose - 60% Cab Franc showing very strong still with the 40% Merlot fading - a big green pepper pop, jalapeño, and long, tangy finish - a real treat!

Brown Bag Wine Dinner at Two Chefs; 10/4/2011-10/5/2011 (TWO CHEFS, MIAMI, FL): - Violet color with fast forming legs and aromas of blackberry, eucalyptus and violet. It's balanced and has flavours of blackberry, eucalyptus, bell pepper and alcohol with a full body. Juicy texture with a long finish - Bob's wine. Obviously California, but we were all at a loss to identify the dominant Cab Franc.

Took a trip to Napa as a tag along with my finance while she worked outside San Franscisco. I scheduled my day around a tasting at Conn Valley. Made the trek to get there (certainly off the beaten path) and was met by Mac the wine maker in their cave. We then proceeded to taste through their entire line up of wines including new ones still in the barrel. I didn't take notes as I was enjoying it too much but they were great. After the tasting, I went to the office and proceeded to spend way too much money. Since I was off having fun while Debbie worked, I wanted to bring something good for dinner that night. They found this bottle which they said was the first year of this blend. It was great. Popped an poured. It took 10 minutes to begin to open up and just kept improving over the night. Nose of earth, dark cherry, chocolate. Taste of sage, earth, cherry, strawberry. Medium body, looooong finish. Good tannin structure that indicates a long life ahead. Outstanding.
