  My first of this maker and it needed every bit of 2-3 hours of air to shine. it's such a good blend of Cab Franc and Cab Sauv.....Cab rocked it early on but the Cab Franc won out over time. Balance is the key with this maker. Clean, quality winemaking on display. Never disappointed with them.

  Nose: vanilla, dark berries, light oak
  Taste: charcoal, raisins, oak extremely smooth with a long finish.
  I lie this one. It gets better the more air it gets.

  Ready to go with a 2 hour decant. Lots of blue fruits on day 1, which seemed to intensify and add a bit of a cherry liqueur note on Day 2. Paired great with a big fatty ribeye roast. Don't hesitate to drink now.

  This is a plush wine with touches of green pepper tones underneath the blue fruit. The blend is so well crafted that it allows only the best attributes of the Cab Franc to grin through. I like the plush feel and the coziness of the wine, coupled with the dryness in both sugar, and the tug and pull of the sandy fine tannins. Definitely a cold weather wine! As for the drinking window, I like this where it is at now and would say that this should be drank sooner rather than later. Sexy and exotic long finish with good energy. A wee bit expensive but very nice. Drink

  Not quite as complex as previous tastings. Not sure if bottle is off (not from my cellar) or in a dumb phase. Still quite nice.
