Excellent! Earthy and robust. I could open one of these every night!

When my reference point for truly great Napa Cabernet Franc is Detert Family (To Kalon Vineyard) everything else will necessarily come short.

Perfect pairing, lamb three ways, hercot verts maple champagne mustard vin, baked sweet potatoes with cinnamon, sautéed mushroom and onion.
‘11 was nicely aged here. Drink now, it’s amazing.

Blue fruit a bit of red fruit. Settled tannins. Time to drink!

Was worried about the age on this guy, but was much better than my last bottle. Nice nose, still some fruit and boldness, but age is showing. Went well with steak and corn!

2012 vintage - really nice, well balanced. Would definitely buy/drink it again.

"Lost it's mojo!"....decent nose, but nothing after that. Was probably lovely 3yrs ago, but this guy has faded into the wine sanctuary. Happy trails!
