Another bday celebration for same homeboy, this time in Columbia county. I adore Cali wines made in the Loire/ vin de soif style, like this: simple, cranberry crushed red fruits, medium/ light body, high acidity. Great label, for old fogeys like me who remember when music only came in LPs & singles…

Really pretty. Light body, pencil shavings, wild berry, dried herbs, floral and great acid. I’m a fan.

Impressive Cabernet franc. Medium bodied, pairing well with the spices and fragrant flavors of Indonesian food.

Lo-Fi’s 2017 Cabernet Franc is flat-out delicious. Nuanced and refreshing, with tons of varietal Franc character, the 2017 is bold, racy and incredibly inviting. Bright aromatics and beautifully pure red berry fruit are given an extra kick of freshness from the 100% whole clusters. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, June 2018)

Didn't care for the floral notes. Kinda underwhelming compared to their other releases.
