Funky, ripe fruit on the nose but get more of the signature herbal Cab Franc flavors on palate for a change. Awesome (and surprisingly rich) mouthfeel. Exceeded expectations; surprised at the low ratings!

Sharp and pungent VA on the nose. Fruit covered up. Nice acidity. The 2013s seemed to be much better and cleaner.

Easy drinking fruit forward cab franc. Light hand, low alc, low extraction. Violets and tart fruit.

Cranberry, pencil shavings, Beaujolais bright fruit, floral, hint of anise and dried herb earthiness on the nose. Unmistakable pencil lead shavings on the palate, with cherry, rhubarb, tart raspberry, cran/cherry, touch of earthy steaminess and very minor oak spice. Fun wine, great with food.
