What a difference three years made. The first bottle had great fruit and structure but the farm smell exceeded my limit and never blew off. This bottle was much cleaner on the nose. Beautiful plum, green pepper (within my range of fairness) and earth flavors. Many years left .

Like I'm back on the farm. Stinky, rustic Cab Franc. Oh so beautiful. Clean on the palate with delicate tannins and a warm sour red apple component. Let this wine breathe! 2012 Vintage.

Dark fruits, cherries and pepper. Very ripe. Pretty silky and approachable. The five years of age is probably about right for this wine.

Musty, earthy, funky Loire Valley Cab Franc. After a while the nose cleaned up a bit and the mouthfeel became pretty velvety. Not bad, although certainly an acquired taste.
