July 1, 2016 - Definitely not for everybody, but for those who do like this style, “ooh, Baby!” Deep, powerful floral aroma. Light-bodied with leather, slate and a touch of eucalyptus. Dusty dry. Absolutely Old World Cab Franc. Need a companion and some food to get this whole bottle down, though.

September 8, 2015 - I generally agree with the previous taster about this wine. It does have a nice nose of violets. On the palate, it is very fruit forward with raspberries, leather, crushed rock, a little pepper and nice acidity.

March 22, 2015 - smells like spring! Wildflowers, herbs, sunshine and lychee fruit. Raspberries, shoe leather and graphite with bright acidity. This fairly structured wine opened up more on day 2. This could hold for 2-3 years but not needed at all. Drink up, a fantastic expression of Loire cab franc with 5% cab sauv. Biodynamic.
