November 9, 2020 - Deep dark purple in color. Round and soft wine. Lots of black and blue fruits. Drank over about 90 minutes.

I would not say this is true to cab franc varietal, but perhaps more of the merlot with the softness. Just a hair of green pepper. A very Napa wine. Drinking well, perhaps just a bit past prime, but I think this will hold on for a couple more years. A soft, juicy, fruity treat.

August 14, 2018 - Deep purple in color, solid tannins, interesting to compare to a Bordeaux blend that would include cab Sauvignon, maybe a bit less lean and a touch more green. No real change in the wine over the 2 hours that we drank it.
