March 12, 2021 - Lots of sediment on this bottle. Fully integrated, a perfectly pleasant cab franc that probably has nowhere else to go. Drink now.

April 27, 2018 - Benefits from a nice long decant. Even better the next day. Blackberry, blueberry, menthol, herbs, smoke, tobacco, and a little bell pepper on the nose. Juicy blackberry, earth, herbs, licorice, tart cherry, and oak on the palate. Decent acidity, integrated tannins, long-ish slightly bitter finish. It’s fairly rich, modern, and delicious. If the mid-palate fleshes out a bit, it might gain another point.
