  December 12, 2020 - An OK Cabernet Franc, ready to drink now. Full of fruit, cherry, raspberry and a bit of plum but not much else. None of the more earthy or savory notes I would expect. Tasty bit a bit pricey for what it is.

  March 1, 2020 - This is very good now and ready to go if you areate it. It's all upfront fruit and doesn't have the more delicate flavors I'm accustomed to in Cab Franc. It's good but it wasn't a great qpr.

  July 16, 2017 - Good -- on the lighter side. Had side by side with an SB mouvedre and randomly tasted very similar.

  January 31, 2016 - Dark fruit on the palate that comes in just a bit hot right now. Shows a trace of rose petal for the distinctive Cab Franc flavor I seek. Very good, but ripe and needs time to settle down. I will not even attempt before 2020. Coravin used to sample.

  October 23, 2015 - Dark ruby in color, aromas of violets, dark cherry, juniper berry and candied fruit cake with aromatic cedar, tobacco and a nuance of briary thicket and forest floor. Balanced with dark cherry flavors. Full bodied, rich, with a long, dark fruit finish.
