A bit disappointing. Floral and high-toned but also tasting a bit tired already. #flxwine #nywine

Cabernet dominated. 14 months oak, some new. Elevated acidity, soft moderate tannins layered with cedar, spice box, red cherry and black cherry.

Quite nice. Bright, floral, the individual grapes come through in the blend. Red fruit, earth. You can taste the finger lake cab franc.

Good! Can’t recall if this was that much better than the MC2 and worth the extra but would still try again.

I liked this much better early last year on site. 2014 opened in 2019. Still nice.

48% cab sauvignon, 42% merlot, 10% cab franc: excellent tannins, good fruit, decent middle long finish; easily one of the better FLX reds
