  Very impressive! Had with corned beef and it paired surprisingly well (I wasn't sure anything would pair!). Good body and structure with full flavor; mix of red and dark fruit. Typical green pepper is present but not very noticeable. Tannins have smoothed out nicely. Sophisticated mix of fruit, leather, vegetable, and more on the palate.

  Great wine! Brambly nose, dark fruit with classic Cab Franc flavors, but enough depth this could age another 5 years.

  Had with friends at Lime Rock; paired with burgers. Definitely still very young but, at the same time, very drinkable, pleasant, sophisticated. On the light side but held up fine with burger. Will only get better

  Medium garnet color. Savory aromas of cracked peppercorn, espresso bean, black currant fruit, tobacco and smoked paprika spice. Crunchy black fruit on the palate with a lean savory structure. Bright acidity, medium round tannins. Juicy finish. Nice style and very appealing at this price point.

  Vegetal and forest notes on the nose. Palate is similar with the distinctive CF green pepper plus a lot of tannin. Surprisingly, the balance is spot on so quite drinkable even though very young and should improve a lot over time. Pairs very well with food.
