March 20, 2022 - Agree with other reviewers. Outstanding in every way. Wish this wasn’t my last 2010 bottle.

January 23, 2021 - Finally opened up after 3.5 hour decant, singing beautifully at 4.5 hours. Exceptional example of a Napa Cabernet franc, slight and balanced oak, not overly dry or fruity finish. Perfect vanilla, think half of a Mt.Veeder Cabernet. Well done. Luc Morlet is an exceptional wine maker. I loved this wine but incredibly pricey, better values out there. Fortunately I still have a couple bottles left.

January 3, 2018 - Astounding for a 100% Cab Franc - good tannic structure bull also full red and black fruits.

December 24, 2015 - Dark purple color; griping tannins as expected; slightly green notes on the nose and palate. Nice balance and texture.
