nice expression of Cab Franc with 38% Merlot works well. Lots bright ripe red fruits and some slight meaty nuances and a touch of floral, maybe violets in the nose but the flavors keep the red fruit and complex fleshiness.Good balance but not great yet. The finish is slightly brighter than it could be but all the parts are there for a couple more years and a few more points.

This one was trying too hard. I don't know if I've moved on, or my palette's in a different mood these days, but Foxen's Bordeaux-based stuff ain't thrilling me. Pinots continue to be off the charts.
