Peaks and valleys of varying levels of complexity. Dark fruit, rocks, pie spice, furry teeth, and a linear acidity. Lingering finish. This is a baby and I can only imagine how good this'll be when it hits manhood.

What a wine! Aaron Pott knocked this one out of the park. Cab Franc- Merlot blend. Silky smooth tannins. Dark chocolate and slate.

2012 Paramour - Really sexy wine in that NOT over the top style. Elegant and varietally Cab Franc with red and black fruit, sweet herbs, purple flowers, and complexity without being heavy. Well done @Aaron Pott

Ripe plums. Dark purple color. Layered so well. Blackberries blueberries.

Dark ruby with slight variation at the meniscus. Light body that presents typical of a predominantly Cab Franc blend. Nose reveals higher alcohol (suggestive of the warmer climate).

Napa's take on a solid Pomerol. Rich dark fruit with a velvet finish. Great with some Mother's Day grilled Ribeyes.
