  Lovely wine with restraint, balance, and all the hallmarks of Cab Franc. Finishes a bit flabby.

  It is still good but think it is starting to fade. Drink up. Delicious

  What a delicious and interesting wine. Jalapeno, capsicum and rosewater on the nose--very pure Cab Franc with a bit of savory green character. More to the red fruited side, almost too easy drink due to the juiciness, mid-palate roundness, and overall balance. Finishes with fine tannins, and more focus on savory, mineral characteristics, which counterweights the slurpability a bit.
  
  Raised in concrete eggs, so no oak here, but has the depth and texture that stainless steel reds rarely can offer. Drinking great now, but I bet this has legs to run for 5+ years.

  Wow, after an hour and a half in the decanter this was singing. Has structure to improve over the next 3+ years and will likely hold on for a few more but right now is drinking well.

  This is a great wine and find from Argentina. There is nice spice, dark fruit, and a wonderful finish. This will last many years but is very nice now.
