October 22, 2023 - Crisp dark purple with ruby rim
Bell pepper, oak, crushed gravel, grilled steak on the nose
Full-bodied wine, meaty bell pepper, dark plum, with chili pepper on the finish
Nice dry wine with medium high acidity and well-balanced. This wine is what made me start a cab franc collection.

June 13, 2023 - Elegant and rounded delivering a bountiful aroma of riped blackberry compote, cherry, vanilla, caramel and cedar. Tannins are soft, acidity is medium and finish is long, flavory and velvety. Just an under the radar killer wine. Pairs perfectly with a home made pastichio and drinks very well by itself.

June 5, 2022 - While it had some bell pepper notes immediately after opening, quickly faded, improved after 2h decanting. If we had another we'd try decanting longer.
Blackberry, licorice, gravel, smooth tannins
Priced appropriately ar slightly high.
Opened at 5yrs, may benefit from more time but wouldn't expect significant improvement.
