Pnp, but improved over the evening. Drinking really well now. Agree with those who point out this is a wine that needs food to shine, it's a little acidic on its own. Wife would rate 92.

Dinner with Steph at Longhorn - Prime rib: Cab franc pleasantly dominates this one on the nose and the flavors; fairly floral nose, black fruits up front, pleasant herbal cab franc is dominant from mid-palate through long, silky finish. Better food wine, than on its own.
On day two, very little nose, but flavors remained the same.

- Garnet color with medium forming legs. It's in total harmony with a medium/full body. Polished texture with a long finish - Appropriate bottle for Valentines Day. Rich, full mouthfeel. Fully integrated tannins made for a smooth experience with fruit still fresh. Wonderful!
