Opened a little tight, but developed some fun character after some time. Much more bright raspberry than I expect from a Cab Franc, but complex floral aromas made it a great dinner pairing! — 5 days ago

Might have declined but still enjoyable now! Dusty tannins, very floral bouquet, mild cranberry and blueberry. Opening up nicely…

Not as complex as I would have hoped. A little green note popping through the bramble bush, very light red fruit. More violet/floral and very light tannins. — 24 days ago
