Very good cab franc from Napa. Deep purple, big flavors across the palate. Grippy.

A really nice fig filled pleasure. A distinctive profile that lingers across the sides of your tongue.

Star of the show for me. Like a good Italian and its Lasagna, I tend to judge by their Cab Franc. This one delivered. Dark Chocolate, tobacco, clover and spice. Oh so nice!

Solid, but sub-optimal QPR, like most other Goosecross.

Garnet in color, pungent nose with herbaceous notes, blackberry and a tighter finish than expected.

Fantastic tobacco and leather with just the right amount fruit still present.

This is better than the last time I tried it and it definitely needs time in the glass. Good development of secondary aromas including tobacco, spices(cumin), and cedar. Nice dark berry flavors fill the palate initially with a return of acidity in the mid-palate turning into some black raspberry and cherry flavors. Finish persists for about 30 seconds and is very pleasant.
