Still the excellent Cabernet Franc I remember from Steven Kent. Potent fruit on the nose, fruit-forward and medium-bodied on the palate. Finish is warm and long. All the great characteristics typically displayed from Steven's wines.

Similar notes as before, great effort. More of a French Chinon style of C.F. with tart raspberry, red cherry, and strawberry fruit. The mid-palate hits you with red licorice, violets, and bell pepper notes. Nice acidity and finish. Nice easy drinking right now.

Semi-transparent garnet from center to rim. Rich, bold red fruit on the nose. Cherry with just a bit of oak. Incredibly soft texture up front on the palate with a nice rush of fruit. Strawberry and cherry shine throughout the mid. Tartness develops toward the back and tannin grip ends it nicely. Finish is quite long and warm. It feels like something is missing, but still great overall. The astonishment from 2013 isn't quite there.

First go-around with this winery and did not disappoint. Lighter style than I'm used to but very nice nonetheless. Tart red cherry, strawberry, and sour plum fruit up front with red licorice and herbal notes on the mid-palate. Nicely balanced wine, medium acidity, and good finish. Easy drinking right now, good food wine, well done.
