So much of the character comes from the Cab Franc - white pepper, graphite, smoke, dried violet. Savory with great acidic drive - absolutely lovely.

Wow! Floral, blueberry, dark berry, cinnamon. This is day two. It really opened up. I'm enjoying this!

A good blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc with nice structure and pleasant mouthfeel.

Vibrant red fruits, cloves and brambly vines. Cherries, raspberry and baking spices. Long finish with firm tannins. Reminiscent of an Aussie blend.

Brambly pepper aromas. Black fruits, dusty cocoa and firm tannins. This should age well.

One of a couple to celebrate NYE. Beautiful wine in a great spot right now. Tannins have stepped into the background while the red fruit remains fresh. Happy New Year!

Very jammy & viscous. Nice aromas of black fruits and some spice, but couldn't get past the syrup-like consistency.

Jammy and funky nose, hint of suede. Dried cassis, decaying violet, tobacco on the palate. 61% merlot, 39% cab franc.
