September 26, 2023 - This wine is still going strong in my opinion. Savory bell pepper and red fruit on the nose and palate. Well balanced with a slightly spicy and very long finish.

October 12, 2019 - Drank from magnum. This wine is in a great spot right now. Nose of dark red and black plum, black cherry, bell pepper and some toasty oak. Everything translates to the palate and the wine had that distinct cab franc profile but not overly green by any stretch, even in a lean vintage for Napa standards. Just the right amount of oak to give that smoothness and slightly spicy finish. Cab franc always has been my favorite wine from Ehlers so no surprises here.

September 23, 2017 - Decanted for 30 mins and was welcoming wine to our dinner party. Nose of green pepper burned off after decant opening to scent of dark chocolate. Dark fruit with pepper hints made it very enjoyable wine to start our evening
