December 2, 2022 - Nose offers barnyard funk, mocha, matcha, mint leaves.
Palate is vegetal, bell pepper, plum, blackberry. Tannins grippy but not insurmountable.
Delicious and complex. -

November 27, 2022 - A nice Cabernet Franc - different from the BC ones that I typically have. Aroma is dominated by wet earth and barn smells. This carries over into the flavour with some licorice and dark chocolate. Moderately light body. Sometimes cab franc can be on the sweeter side but this is in fact quite dry. Tannins are still prominent and this could definitely stay in the cellar for a while.

September 12, 2021 - Crimson red. This is ready from he start without decant. First blue plums quickly adding minty notes and other fruity and flowery as well as spicy notes. The nose predicts a more powerful wine on the palate, but it is light on its feet, yet complex and with intense flavors. Not like loir wine cabernet francs more akin to a bordeaux with high cabernet franc share. Good refreshing acidity as well as a good amount of adstringent tannins, but staying fine and highly drinkable. Luis Gutiérrez for the WA predicts a drinking window till 2025 and gives 94 points. I agree, but I believe in more longevity. 5/13/17/9.- 2030
