March 24, 2020 - No formal note, this is a little overly done and intense though it does have a Loire Valley styling to it, with green bell pepper making an appearance.

Leslee: One of the best, well structured + balanced Cab Franc's I have ever had. An excellent wine that should be savored + enjoyed! -

June 26, 2019 - 2 weeks in Australia with a stopover in Singapore; 6/14/2019-7/1/2019 (Singapore, Sydney, Adelaide, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills): Was interested to try this as we did not get to taste this on our visit. The fruit here is leaning purple/blue, but on the palate it is very fresh and minty alongside the blueberry fruit profile. Interesting and easy to quaff.

June 26, 2019 - Return to Aus; 6/23/2019-7/5/2019 (Adelaide, South Australia wine regions, Tassie, Yarra, etc.): I am finding myself really liking Brad's wines and all of them. I think it's because they are such a different style to the average set. Always a lot more pronounced acidity which creates this wonderful almost spritz and freshness to them. This was similar. And I like CF. Nothing detailed as it was enjoyed over a good conversation with some friends.
