Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 24, 2020 - A touch perplexing and perhaps disappointing. Around 95% can franc but it’s not classical Cab Franc on the nose, very much feels more dominant in rich napa Cab Sav / Merlot even though that’s only 5 % of the wine.
There is some cab Franc nose but it’s not elegant. More on the palate giving a finish that benefits from aeriation and plenty of acidity. The can franc almost gives it a freshness but this isn’t a light or fresh wine really.
It’s holding up very well though and no fears of its status. I wouldn’t have marked it as a 14 year old wine. Finish has a fair bit of lean grip and bramble / pepper.
Not a bad wine, in fact very good but at the price and given the heat / high alcohol I won’t be buying more. I have a case of 2016 at half the price and be interesting to see if they have progressed as producers over the years.
