Deep Ruby with aromas of red and black fruits, herbs and sweet floral spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with floral herbs, oak and black pepper. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, oak and herb spice.

Really loved this red over New Years meal at home. From dad’s hockey friend during 2018 snoopy team tour.

CF is an awesome grape. This was a really nice wine. Surprisingly smooth and balanced.

I love cab franc from Napa and this one is solid. It's still young and tannic, but opens up well after a couple hours. Flavors of cassis, leather, tobacco and plum are balanced with a firm spice core. Recommended now, but will be better in 5-10 years.

2012. Lacking luster even after 5 times thru aerator. Not our "glass of wine".
