Lovely Cab Franc and great value. Medium bodied, deep red fruit but not at all overwhelming, with some earth and herb. Would like to try more than just a half glass.

Huge bang for buck, better chilled. All the earth and mineral, just not super cohesive

Perhaps the most refined Cab Franc that I have ever had the pleasure to pour. Just delicious.

Actually speechless...as this lovely red opened up I became more and more memorized by it. I felt like a 24 year old enthralled with a siren. So impressed with the complexity.

Pretty smooth right out of the bottle with an aerator. Wasn’t as good two days later, but nice for the price point. Let it get a little chill on it.

Inexpensive, quaffable, but not a lot of typical Cabernet Franc flavors.

Give it a 20/30 minute stint in the fridge and match it with a BBQ T-bone steak. A fair bistro red, in search of freshness, that finally kicks in around two hours. Start out with their very good '16 rosé (9.0) and enjoy the ride. 😎
