I bought this because the ‘10 was one of the best wines I’ve ever had. Nose: Just a perfume of red & dark fruits, fresh cedar, almost like a sweet dark chocolate raspberry liqueur, wet gravel, black licorice, vanilla, sage. I could just talk about the lovely nose all day long but basically a standard fantastic cab franc nose.
Really dry and sticky, kind of a chewy wood finish, dark chocolate, raspberry, black licorice, black tea.
Very promising but still maybe a little bit too dry to be able to truly appreciate, once the tannins die down though I think this will be absolutely amazing.
I really look forward to watching this evolve and this style is just amazing, it’s great now but will be better in the future.

Old leather, green bell pepper, good fruit and great tannin. One of my faves!
