Dang. A really nice Cabernet Franc. Right at peak pop and pour drinking. The cork came out black with a ton of sediment. The wine had a nose of dark chocolate, truffle, black cherry, cola, white flowers, black olive and a hint of oak. The palate was the same fruit wise with great acidity up front. A little bit of eucalyptus in the middle. Black cherry and cola finish with a little bit of tobacco leaf.
Softer tannin on the finish . Medium-plus bodied wine. In a really great spot right now. If you have these, it is definitely time to pop and enjoy. — 5 years ago

This wine has evolved a little since I last enjoyed it in January. This was closer to the experience shared with Ms. Cakebread a year ago, but the wine has definitely evolved for the good. This was double decanted this time and this is now about 4 hours after that double decant. The nose of this is youthful blackberry fruit with sweet tobacco. This wine is a blackberry scone bomb up front. Youthful and full bodied extraction. Lots of acidity in the front and middle. This one developed more of a herb-rubbed meat and clove quality to it in the middle. Toasted oak tannin and pie spice finish. Still quite a bit of tannin going on here, but between the herbal side of things that is starting to also come out and the toasty tannin, this wine is really starting to develop nicely. — 7 years ago
