First time with this label; I found this surprisingly very good. Love the rich spicy, tobacco, red currant, and mixed berry aromas and flavors. Integrating structure adds balance while supporting a medium plus finish. Decanted and enjoyed with grilled ribeyes for Father’s Day. Drink through 2030+.

Had this at a Turkish restaurant with my wine group. It was a WA State Cab Franc and Italian Nebbiolo tasting. While the Nebbiolo's were popular with those who prefer old world style wines, my tastes run towards new world and this was my favorite. The other Cab Franc was a 2017 Soos Creek Artist Series.

Just about one year on, and notes are consistent. Big, bold, New World Bordeaux blend with significant oak influence. Fruit forward but tobacco oak and tannin present as well. Drink or hold, leaning toward drink.

For whatever reason, not as delicious as the prior bottle. Maybe it had some bottle shock from riding to the party in my backpack. Still a great wine, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the last. Drink now - 2030.

This is almost 50/50 Franc and Merlot....and ready to drink! Beautiful fruit, and spice, and floral notes. Decent heft. I really like this style!
