Excellent well balanced cab rich but balanced. Like a fruity st estephe — 4 years ago
Bottled 2016, contains heirloom varieties from their own orchard in Applegate, Oregon: Arkansas Black, Blenheim Red, Macintosh and Rome Beauty. Very clear, yellow brown color, light to moderate carbonation, rapidly collapsing head. Very good mix of flavors; their label claims a profile of “apricot, honeydew, tropical fruit and green apple”. I would back the first three claims. Crisp and dry, as advertised. A touch too much wood for my taste, but otherwise well crafted with an excellent array of fruit. No bitterness and minimal astringency. Good value — 6 years ago
Picked this up at Creekside Winery and fell head over heels for this cab franc 😍Melli but complex mouse and that continues into the mouth. Medium to full bodied with strong tones of dark jams and very subtle hints of tart cherry. — 6 years ago

very light, almost flavorless at first... you get a light citrusy fruitiness after a bit. Gets a bit heavier when warmer, but then it ends drily. Would be a good summer sipper, but there's not a lot to this either. — 6 years ago
