  Not a lot coming off in the way of aroma even on night two. Juicy palate with surprisingly robust tannin. The tannins are actually a touch green and deep. Straightforward classic Cab Franc flavors. Feels like it was probably pretty ripe with that juicy, bit thin in the middle quality. Other than that it's doing really well. The tannin is clearly going to outlast the fruit on this one so I would drink it with something fatty sooner rather than later. Good stuff and consistent over two nights.

  Harmonious on the palate with deep blueberry notes. Lots of structure on the back end. Starting on the earth tobacco thing instead of violets. Was hoping for more of the violet thing. Just opened, Nate notes its coming around.
  
  Nate notes a stemmy, slightly struggling with ripeness juniper note in the mid palate.

  Good, medium-weight Cab Franc. Red fruits are in balance with expected green tones playing support throughout. Nice grip; good wine.

  I like this wine....i confess I'm on a bit of a loire cab franc kick, and am no expert... The wine is well structured, rich, pretty clean, not much green... a little hard-edged (it's on Coravin, so may get some development). It may be too young, i'd hope the fruit would get past a slight wall of tannin... but a very satisfying, fairly priced wine....
