2010 was a phenomenal year for this producers cab franc, and it's easy to see why. Still deep and dark and brooding, this wine is a robust mixture of flowers, spicy gingersnap and black fruits. Still could lay down for years, I would have loved to have decanted it.

Aged beautifully! The original tasting notes suggested 6-10 years in the bottle and this was delicious at 7.5 years. Balanced tannins, blackberry and smooth.

Nice fruit and herb nose. Lovely delicate complex flavors. Violet and roses with the cherry and berry composite flavors.

A solid red, but not much to distinguish it from other reds.
