This bottle indistinguishable from the last-see my note from 2011. Wine is holding up well, i do not see it improving with further age. Does not require much aeration, though I did pour the initial glass through an aerator. Subsequently poured straight from the bottle. Wine held up well the second night The wine looks Purple colored. The legs are Medium. The body is Medium/Full. The wine has Smooth texture. The wine finishes Medium.

Don't know much about Cab Franc, but believe this is drinking really well right now. Dark purple, with plenty of purple fruit on the nose--blackberry and blueberry and a bit of funk. Tannins and oak fading to the point that the wine seemed very well integrated. Moderately long finish

a bit too much oak, but very good...not worth the tariff though IMO

Wonderfully balanced Cab Franc. The Vineyard 29 fruit and care in selection is among the best.

wonderful addition to the 29 lineup, as impressive as savignon. luscious mouthfeel, dark cherry flavor, balanced tannins.
