  30 min decant, enjoyed over several hours. This really started to shine around hour 2-3. Great example of Cabernet Franc. Lighter than a Cab Sav, but still good body. Medium body and finish. Drink now with some air or hold through 2028.

  Good on opening, better and better over 3.5 hours. Hasn’t had one of these in a while, it was magnificent. Drink with air or hold 2-4.

  This is a delicious Cabernet Franc from Yakima Valley in Washington State.
  
  Inky in color with a short reddish rim.
  
  Full bodied with a nice mouthfeel.
  
  Dry on the palate with medium acidity and long legs.
  
  Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, tobacco, herbs, mint, light earth and peppercorn.
  
  Spicy and interesting. Rich and extracted.
  
  Still young and would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
  
  Delicious right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.
  
  Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
  
  14.1% alcohol by volume.
  
  93 points.
  
  $55.

  Medium purple color
  On the nose black fruit and earth.
  Sweet with prune, peach preserve and herbs on the palate
  
  Medium acidity and smooth tannins. Sweeter than I expected for a Cabernet Franc.

  Nose was a bit funky on PnP, other elements of fruit, spice and earth emerge over time. This is a heavy, full-bodied wine that would be best with grilled steak.
