Opened with chocolaty notes, and finished with loads of red fruit. This wine would age for a decade and should be paired with big, bold flavors. Good acid and weight, it is a beast now, but should age like, well, a fine red wine. Thanks S and K Bennet! Happy 40th birthday to my lovely wife. Cheers!

An excellent Cab Franc with strawberry / raspberry on the palate. Perfect with steak on the grill. April 2023.

Its very good, but at $135.00 it should be, couldn’t find any info on it on their website, auction bottle.
Still prefer Vineyard 29 & Morlet, but this is young & has plenty of aging ahead of it.
