Pop and pour. A gorgeous dark ruby red color. On the nose: Nice...a savory nose with cedar, nutty vanilla, black olive, raspberry and a little blueberry. Taste: smooth, semi silky medium body wine with blueberry, spice, vanilla oak, and a raspberry pencil lead medium plus slightly astringent finish. Enjoy!!!

So much better than the 2013 Tor Beckstoffer CF, I’ll be buying this Cab Franc on each release from now on,

One of the best CF I’ve had, even at P&P, giving the rest of the bottle 4 hours considering its a 13. The 05 was the only other Vineyard 29 CF I’ve had and that was fantastic, so decided to buy some 13 & 14. But I’ve only had 4-5 bottles of different CF, so my experience with them is 👎🏻🤷‍♂️. Curious how the 14 is considering most 13’s are tight wines, I’ll check it out later.
