Oct 29th, 2017Amazing Cab Franc for the 💵! Serious structure, blackberry compote, herbal notes, and a texture that is a little dirty due to round but youthful tannins.

Mar 15th, 2015Definitely not the Loire! Big, rich cab franc more fruit less cedar and graphite than I was expecting. Finish is long with grainy tannins and a bit of heat.

Oct 16th, 2015One of my new favorite house wines. Always enjoy CF in my Bordeaux and experimenting with signal varietal wines. True new world expression with bright red and black fruit and easy to drink.
