2015 vintage opened on February 2022. In my humble opinion this is as good as a Cab Franc can get. As a grape the Cab Franc lacks the complexities of some of the premier grape varietals, and it’s best used as as blending grape. But after seven years of aging this vintage has come into its own. mint and allspice on the nose. Raspberry fruit on the front. A light tannic structure holds it together with earthy low notes on the mid palate and with lots of mineral high notes on the finish. Very drinkable but not very memorable.
