Better than we remember it being. Gave it 45 minutes to decant. Lush, complex, dark berries with a hint of smoke on the finish. Almost wished we had gotten a case the last time we were there!

Notes of wood and smoke. Seems as though it will finish strong but the finish turned out to be on the flat side. Decanted for around 30 minutes, same as a bottle in March 2010; seems to be just the right amount of time to breathe. Also agree with my prior description that this may be Lynfred's best red right now

Shaping up to be a very nice red from Lynfred. Really needs to breathe....had about a half bottle the first night and the rest about 24 hours later (with a stopper on the bottle in between). M really liked it with the extra breathing. Time to get a case!

Picked up two more bottles last month...they claimed they were the last two! Quite tasty. More complex than the last bottle. Really hate to see it go.

This Cab Franc is our current favorite red from Lynfred. Need to order more before they're gone.

Floral nose with dark berry and hints of earth. Taste doesn't match the nose, but smooth and simple. Opening up nicely.
