2002 cork showed lots of seepage yet wine seems alright. Aromas of green and black olives and roasted peppers. Soft and woody on the palate with a saucisson note coming through on the finish.

My favorite Cab Franc from Napa is full bodied with flavors of cherry, plum, vanilla, and cocoa.

2014 and such a cool label, which apparently has now been changed. Just needs a few minutes to open and it rounds out soooo nicely. Balanced tannins, spice, berries, and a chocolate that hangs.
