  September 1, 2014 - A Labor of Love (and wine and beer) (Our home): Very nice showing for this wine. Ruby in color. The nose has cherries with some tobacco. Nothing green on this wine. It shows some complexity and seems to be at peak. Lovely texture. Nice cherry fruit. Nice balance. Not over the top either.

  December 25, 2013 - Incredible blue fruit and herbs, as a Franc should be. Paradigm makes all good wine, and this is a favorite. Glad I hung on to it. Should be another 3-4 years left.

  September 3, 2012 - Last bottle of the 2005. To me this is what a good cab franc should taste like. Solid fruit with balanced tannins. Good mouthfeel and a nice finish.

  May 22, 2012 - Cab Franc is Cab Franc and I think Paradigm makes one of the best straight versions going. Nice fruit and tannins. Good balance. Smooth.
