  November 23, 2023 - Aromas grab you…savory red fruit, green peppers…light and bright red fruit flavors. Really provocative wine.

  January 23, 2021 - Very light in color. Fruit and hint of funk on nose. Palate feels like strawberry lemonade and almost sweet, despite being fully dry - so fresh and summery. Hint of stable funk, but very subtle. Low tannins, but with a juicy acidity. Lovely. I've had a few Cab Pfeffers from other producers and this is the lightest one, by far. In fact, I was surprised at how light the color was, as the ones I've had before have been much darker and more brooding. Lovely grape and worth seeking out - never had a bad one.

  November 25, 2020 - How do you evaluate a wine made from a grape you have never tasted before? I don't know but here we go.
  
  PNP and followed for about 3 hours. In the nose fresh cracked black pepper, cooked blueberry, fresh strawberry, strong cranberry black tea and wet earth with hints of fire roasted mild green chilies, rock & rye and bay leaf. In the mouth just slightly cooked blueberry and plum with cranberry, black raspberry, tobacco leaf, wet coffee grounds and moist earth all covered in smoky black pepper. On the lighter side of medium bodied with lively acid and ripe, frim but not aggressive tannin. Very bright and lively.
  
  This had elements that reminded me of Loire Cab Franc, young Rioja, lesser known reds from northern Italy and more.
  
  But the questions are did I like it? Yes very much. Drinking window? No idea, but boy is it fun to drink right now.
