| Tasted by manonthemoon on 11/18/2009 & rated 90 points: (43% Cab Franc, 33% Cab Sauv, Merlot): Much different than the last few vintages as the Franc dominates this wine. Nose of plum, lavender, little vanilla, and banana peppers. Palate of candied black cherry, mixed berries, earth, and jalapeņo pepper. Good bottle, but I would have rather of had the CF single varietal with it being this dominate. 90 (80 views) | |

| Tasted by RPerro on 9/12/2009 & rated 91 points: Oregon Wine Country Tasting (Willamette Valley, OR): 24% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Franc, and 33% Cabernet Sauvignon from Yakima Valley. Very young and tight...lots of drying tannins and bright acidity. The fruit is there too, in the form of gobs of earthy blackberries, but this wine is needing time to come together. Very disjointed right now. Hopefully we will see some progress in 6-12 months. I personally would hold this one until 2011. (283 views) |
