to file in the category of 'wish I had another one of these for ____ years from now'. Solid, but with forward-looking prosperity. Hawkes Bay forever.

Compare to the Guilon Bourgueil, this was fat and rich. But taken on its own merits, it offered an interesting take on new world CF. It offers both fleshy texture and riper dark fruit aromas along with a bit more freshness and length on the palate compare to many Cali CF.

I love what Pyramid Valley captures in bottle. This is absolutely Cab Franc and yet a redefinition. Youthful and fun

Not Pinot? Incredibly exciting in mouth. Red fruit and mineralogy with serious weight for its category. On its own wonderful, but wants food to pair.

My first wine from this NZ biodynamic estate, suggested by my friend Paul. Quite drinkable and true to the CF profile, nice acidity and terroir, yet still very new world.

Lots of vanilla, orange, clove, and syrup. Unique blend of flavors for a Franc of this body
