Last Friday was our normal 4th Friday happy hour at the storage facility, but since this month had 5 Fridays, why not keep the party going?!

I saw cab franc and immediately went to this. Hello gorgeous! I haven't had much from Jonata, but I know the pedigree. Black tea, black cherry, toasted almonds, blackberries, cassis, small bit of oak at this point. Stunning! @Carl Fischer

Nice Bordeaux wine. Well integrated at this point and still a lot of fruit.

2006 Cab Franc. Touch hot on nose, lots of pepper & spice, still needs time.
