Yet to be released wine from Maryland's premier small winery. Classic Loire valley Cab Franc nose of bell pepper. Tightly grained tannins carry delicious cherry flavors. Upon release, this wine will need plenty of air to soften the tannins. Your best bet is to hold onto it for another year or two in your cellar. This could evolve into one of the better Cabernet Francs in the Mid-Atlantic.

2020. One of my last visits to the winery before moving back to Nebraska, so we had to have one of my favorite wines. This wine is aging really well!

2020. Always one of my favorite reds from OWW and the group really enjoyed it with the sausage and smoked mozzarella pizza and pepperoni and hot honey pizza!

2020. The 2019 Cabernet Franc has been one of my favorite OWW wines and this 2020 vintage may get there with a little more time in the cellar.

2019. Adding this wine of the many tasters that we’ve had on our last few visits because it’s our favorite! Just a great Cab Franc.
