Fantastic. Rich, dark cherries, touches of herbs. Soft tannins and a beautiful finish.

From Mag

1.5 hour decant(little cloudy/fine sediment). A thrilling dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: black raspberry, licorice, mint, dried herbs, currants. Taste: plush mouthfeel, chalky, smooth, dry wine with black raspberry/red plum, bell pepper, graphite, rich soil, herbs, mocha and a nice medium plus finish. YUM! What a beautiful To Kalon vineyard cab franc wine.

Just a truly delicious Cabernet Franc. A hint of dried herbs over layers of dark cherries and mocha.

Needs air, not as friendly as the 15 Bevan, but half the price so maybe not a fair comparison.

Very nice Cabernet Franc. Quite floral, and with lots of fruit. Drinking very well already.

Wow, this is drinking so well right now. Ample structure, but balanced by generous fruit, along with leather and a bit of tobacco and cedar.
