Yum. Wow. I’m not generally a fan of Cabernet franc but this is just delicious. Nice complexity. Plums. Great with our roast beef meal.

Has a smoky nose. On first sip, oh boy, so much going on. It feels very balanced. Spice forward. Some vanilla, and cherry and blackberry. Not to much tannins. Like it's a good cab franc. Full bodied.

Oct 25th, 2020A ripe example which may actually be to its detriment for those who enjoy a little more cray cray in their Cabernet Franc. That said, with its balanced red and black fruit and cocoa-y character, this wine could easily be described as elegant. It actually reminded me of the fad a few years back around "chocolate ports". Anyway, there is certainly quality here and much like any and all wines that derive from the Sumac Ridge heritage, this would definitely be a crowd pleaser.

Jul 29th, 2020Deep red fruit nose, can smell a bit of cherry. Had a lovely peppery notes and blackberry one first sips. The finish on this one is lovely and lingers in all the right ways. Only thing I'd say is it felt a bit young which is no fault of the wine but when we decided to open it.
