Very good—one of the best (and only) American cab francs I’ve tasted. More toward the old world end of the spectrum but with soft edges and a dollop of sweet fruit. Approachable

Not critically tasted as we quaffed this during Halloween trick-or-treating with the kids. Even drank out of plastic cups this is an elegant, nuanced #cabernetfranc from IB&F, made from Bates Ranch grapes. #santacruzmountains

The wax topper was beautiful and difficult to remove - once the wine was open it was an easy pairing with a full Italian meal. Delicious steak-y flavor, made me look up flights to California to visit.
