I love this quirky blend, esp. with ribeyes. I agree with previous notes here and about other vintages that the disparate grapes seem to lack integration. But this is just flat out enjoyable and exactly what I want when I am drinking a lightly flavored steak. Green peppercorns? 100% cab franc. But lighter preparations? This is a great fit and has great QPR. Bravo Mo, for the creativity, courage to do something very different, and the winemaking.

Decanted 90 minutes. Gorgeous nose of potpourri. The fruit is delicious, Cab Franc and Pinot Noir, although I'm not sure the mixture integrates on the palate as much as I would like.

Winorama: A winter in Wineland III; 1/4/2019-1/13/2019 (Portland/Willamette, Eureka, Napa): Very interesting and different wine perhaps because of the blend which is fairly non-traditional (Pinot, Cab Franc, some Syrah). I actually thought it worked pretty well. There's an elegance and a power to the wine coming from those different varietals. Well balanced. Enjoyable.
