Need some time in the glass. Lovely texture but lacked depth and boldness. Moderate cherry fruit on the palate, but seemed one dimensional. Drink up as it’s fading.

Probably a bit young. Nice fruit, but probably needed a lot more air. Solid Cab Franc and paired nicely with our meal.

Memories from our '15 Napa trip! Light and decent fruit, but definitely needs some air. A little tart for a cab franc, but love the low OH and how easy it drinks. Cathy knows what she is doing! Try it!
