  So this has not moved much from initial release. Really nice nose toward bell pepper, green veggies, and blackberry. Tannins softened only a bit - strong on the palate. Excellent balance with the fruit and acidity, with a long finish.

  Consistent of prior note, but a bit more fruit driven now. Seems a bit more integrated with a chalky mineral character. Very nice.

  what a wonderful Cab Franc. Really disappointed I can't find any more. Very dry, almost dusty, medium bodied with flavors of earth, cherries and tobacco

  Dark purple red color. Sour cherries, thin, bitter veggies and twiggy with strong tannins.
