  September 19, 2019 - Great showing. Classic cab franc in a juicy, delicious package. Not in danger of falling apart, but drink now for maximum pleasure. Why do I mess around chasing $40 cab franc when I can have this for $15?

  June 10, 2019 - Pleasurable as moderate bodied weeknight wine, but starting to move out of the aging window. Will tag my last bottle for near term consumption

  January 28, 2019 - Wonderful demure but solid personality, soft and easy, great with the food. Adds to the dinner without demands, bottle was empty too soon. Perfect Monday night bottle.

  January 13, 2019 - Very satisfying, but a moderate color and a bit lean in balance and depth of flavor with youthful acidity. The character is very classic and does all the right elements, it is just this is not an overpowering or even intense wine. That said it was great with the grilled lamb chop and some wild rice and for the price (sub $15) all things considered a good choice.

  October 9, 2018 - Juicy, easy-drinking Loire cab franc that can take a slight chill, but has some complexity to it. Great floral nose, low-ish tannins and greeness for this region.
