Nice fruity, pleasant easy going, lots of black fruits and hint of green notes, medium body, pleasant avidity and an elegant finish. My score 87, drink to 2021

Great cab franc from great people. Enjoyed on Christmas Eve. Subtle green pepper note on the nose, that comes along with a light, acidic mouth feel. Would be good with a slight chill too!

Beautiful cab franc. Earthy, dry herbaceous notes throughout. Gorgeous Loire-like wine....and even better knowing a MN team did this. Simply Devine.

Small fruit bloat but crowd pleaser from Sonoma. Had Samur night before so unfair comparison for cab franc - to be franc - or frank - get it?
