this wine is seriously good. Had trouble getting the cork out, but filtered it into a decanter. Let sit for an hour or two in the decanter. So so yummy. A bit subdued and very very elegant. Delicious. Wish we had more.

Nose said this was Cab franc with green pepper notes and a little spice. Color was still dark to the rim with no bricking. Palate was rich, big, and layered with lots of new oak notes and some ripe fruit that were nicely integrated but still on the big, rich side of the spectrum. Nice long very rich finish with a little heat showing. This feels like they went all out on everything and with a little restraint and finesse it could have been much better.

Nice big new world cab franc. Berries, spice and earth on the nose. Berries, tart cherries and cinnamon pallet. Smooth tannins and a little hot. Big legs in the glass. Long finish.

Glad we drank this now. Slight sign of fruit peak decline. Still fantastic

Spectacular Cabernet Franc! Rich and textured with lots of brambly black fruit. Exquisitely balanced with plush mouthfeel and ample acidity.
