August 21, 2022 - Very nice - smooth tannins, incredible bouquet, enjoyable all around. My only minor complaint is I'm a weirdo and like a bit of green pepper/vegetal in my cab franc, and you had to really search for it in this one.

October 12, 2021 - Excellent. Could wait longer but no need. Quite ripe as there's no bell pepper notes in the nose to speak of. Black fruits and perhaps a bit of ripe black olive. Monolithic but that's a compliment - it is 100% Cab Franc. Plenty of fruit and soft tannins and the alcohol isn't apparent except as volume in the mouth. Medium+ finish.

April 24, 2020 - Double decant. Beautiful nose. Concentrated black cherry with some floral and earthy notes. Astringent. Great texture. Delicious wine.

June 7, 2019 - Revisiting Washington (Woodinville): This is ripe and intense at first glance. Lots of red and black fruits. And yet there's this hint of green pepper and that seems to help balance it out a bit more.
