Noch mal. Loving this little cf gem from south Monterey county. There's not too much of this caliber in these parts and the fresh blood of Damian Georis is realized in this little beauty

Ripe and extracted style or Cabernet franc. Nose of ripe black fruit, spice, dark chocolate. Palette confirms the nose. Fairly coarse tannin and a bit of bittersweet chocolate phenolic goodness. Decent acidity.

Dark crimson, good character, a bit of inkiness, and fruit present, but had the bite of syrah, not too woody. A really nice wine, and great to hold up with most foods.

Plum, chocolate, funk on the nose. Acid, leather, raspberry on the palate. Drinking very well now. No stew here!

Stewed fruit turned into a slight earth and a hint of black olive... Not how I remembered it.
