June 5, 2021 - Love this blend. Touches of grilled herbs from the Cab Franc but the silky mouthfeel from the Merlot. In a really great spot right now.

May 4, 2020 - Deep ruby red. Layered nose with bitter cocoa, mulberries, cinnamon, spiced herbs, red plums and a hint of minerality. Medium tannins (6/10) with a medium body. Drink well right now, nice and smooth with black currants, spiced herbs, red plums and dusted cocoa. Long finish. Drink till 2025.

December 6, 2016 - Nicely integrated, soft and interesting wine, expressive, smoky sense of dark toast, chocolate, at a very good point, but expect it's got what it needs to go some and become pretty interesting. Too bad they didn't repeat this experiment.

March 4, 2013 - Great Franc lift and roundness from the Merlot. The nose is rich yet has great definition. The palate is equally rich and expressive. Could benefit from time in the bottle to come together.
