  January 14, 2024 - W lambchops from grill. Great cabfranc but tough to stand up against the chops. Good fruit an herbs, medium weight and good length. Good bottle.

  July 11, 2023 - Nice nose but somewhat reticent for a cab franc. More blackberry on nose than any other fruit with some earth. Blackberry continues on first taste and turns to cassis. Slight sweetness throughout but not in an unpleasant jammy way. As it opens up, much more mocha notes come through. Lighter than expected and had decent sediment. Probably time to consume though purple tinged color suggests it can go a fair amount longer.

  April 18, 2022 - This wine took probably 30 minutes to find its footing. When it did, it was brambleberry and dirty red cherry with floral notes on the front and matured red fruit finish. A nice Easter wine which paired well with smoked almonds, hazelnuts and there were even a few that were snacking on the Hershey's kisses to see how it paired with THAT. Decided to open the wine tonight, and really this wine probably is in the wheelhouse for performance. Drink now or over the next 10 years.

  March 16, 2020 - Wonderful floral nose. Good, smooth drinking, short finish. 45 minute decant. Good with some lasagna, and also after dinner by itself.
