Generally like this wine and today it was drinking very nicely. Nice bracing tannin with lots of fruit. It was pairing nice with cheese. Still could hold a couple more years for sure.

Drank the night we ordered Piada. Drank with Diavalo chicken pasta. Initial sips were a little jammy with strong fruit aroma, but a nice balance on the back end. Soft tannin texture, good acid and cut through the acid of the pasta sauce. Ultimately, I think it’s good.

Very nice! Obviously, and just stating the obvious here, drank this waaaay too young. This is (always) a very nice CF varietal and has many years of aging. Given a few years, this will get a lot more balance, smooth out, and (I suspect), depth. I’ve always been a fan of Sequoia Grove’s CS (they’ve only been doing it for >40 years!), but really like their CF too.

Excellent cab franc. Still pretty young, opens up after a couple hours.
