  March 28, 2019 - Excellent cab franc.
  Bramble, spice, red dark fruits, cherry.
  Not as vegetal as most cab franc - this is brighter.
  Still quite full bodied for a cab franc, my guess is that the age has helped this wine.
  Drinking well now, with many years left.
  A steal at the $33 going out of business Cellars price.
  Paired well with a pesto cream chicken.

  November 10, 2018 - Dark crimson color. Ripe and slightly jammy red and black fruit on the nose with some cedar cigar box and pepper. Just a touch of vanilla oak in the background. Still very fruit dominant on the palate, slightly jammy. Medium acid, medium+ tannin with a hint of heat on the finish. Very tasty wine.

  April 15, 2018 - Popped and poured. Medium bright crimson color. Nose of dark red fruit with some raspberry and currants, dark chocolate, hint of cedar cigar box. Similar flavors on the palate with a slightly herbal note and a cocoa dusted raspberry flavor on the finish. Medium acid, medium+ tannin and body. Moderate finish. Overall a delicious wine to sip and enjoy on its own and this showed better than previous bottles so the additional bottle time helped smooth things out.

  March 18, 2018 - Still represents a great value for us, but our palettes and library have expanded quite a bit. These may require a tiny bit more time, but it was smoother than I remembered, with the tannins decently integrated, but still the wine has a fairly narrow range in the mouth. there are a few details like the green peppers, cassis and vanilla that come through but it is not a remarkable wine.
