Drank during Passover 2016. Kosher for Passover. Nice pepper, vegetal notes, tannins softening nicely. Not much fruit up front and some heat on the back end. This is a nice Cabernet Franc to begin with, the fact that it's kosher means it's price point (21 two years ago) is very reasonable. One of my favorite kosher selections.

Still with good fruit. Powerful. Well integrated tannins. At 19.99 pirice point now hitting its stride a few years post purchase. Drink now or hold another year, seems to be leaving its awkward phase. Was the favorite wine of the nye tasting. Wish I had more than three bottles left.

Good fruit. Lacking pepper. Well integrated. Great at price point.
