Tasting great right now! Still needed a little decanting. Rich cocoa powder, chalky finish. Classic Cab Franc {30% Cab Sauv}.

Aged nicely. Notes of currant and chocolate. Tannins smooth as silk.

Aug 30th, 2015Drink now. Super fruit forward. A little hot for me. Dark choc. Dried cherry. Velvety tannins. Supple texture. Paired with a skillet-broiled rib-eye, kohlrabi mashers and sautéed Swiss chard. Wine works well with char and salt.

Nice wine from the Dierberg family - pairs well with food - made for the long haul - the 2010 will get better with a bit more bottle age - need to decant

Well rated Cabernet just not my taste. Astral will vary slightly year to year based on the blend selected. Will try another vintage.
