August 29, 2015 - This is no fluke. Second bottle in the last 7 days an I have to say this is in an awesome place right now. I had this one along an aged Baraolo and a WA state merlot and it really shined.
Drink if you have 'em left it is at the peak right now! -

August 22, 2015 - Smooth and balanced right now and everything you want in a Cab Franc. I would say drink them up if you have them this in a great place right now and not sure how long it will stay that way.
