Really perfumed nose, with nice floral, sage, and leather notes. The palate is a bit tight right now, but there’s a nice balance of fruit and oak here. Well made wine that will smooth out nicely with another 2+ years in bottle.

Absolutely delicious wine from a very solid small-production winery. Insane at the price point, especially for Napa. Cabernet Franc dominant blend shows gorgeous nose replete with succulent huckleberry, dried leaf litter, black pepper, pipe tobacco, violets and a subtle resinous cedar note. Oak is nicely integrated.
Palate is opulent and rife with lush fruit. Soft rounded tannins frame the zing of moderate acidity that drives the mid palate into a earthy blackberry finish.

Estate grown cab franc shines through on this soft, easy going blend. Black fruits, spring flowers, tobacco. Built for early drinking with minimal air

Big fruit, chocolate, coffee, cinnamon, black fruit. Silly texture. Very nice, but not my cab franc ideal. Very yummy.
