If you had doubt about BC being able to ripen a Cab that can age, you should try this '02 Burrowing Owl.

Great Cab Franc! High acidity and lots of tannins. Ripe strawberries and plums. Strong notes of smokey oak. Let it breathe before drinking.

This is ripe fruit, expressing terroir. One of what could be BC's signature grape: Cocoa and vanilla with saddle leather and bake hayloft in August. Beauty. Miles and miles to go, too.

Less fruit than when tasted last year. The Tannin’s are still at the front.

I forgot how incredible the burrowing owl cab franc is. Luscious tannins and long legs.
