Community Tasting Notes 14

  • Tom Rodger Likes this wine:

    January 29, 2023 - Colour - deep plum.
    Red berry with a little dryness from the tannins. Lacks some acidity and fruit is a little confected.
    Overall very well made but ultimately lacks any sense of complexity that you might expect for the price and winemaker.

  • Caroline Tilton Likes this wine: 90 points

    November 19, 2022 - I just loved this wine. It is easy to drink,
    Easier than a Malbec. It was at the perfect time to drink too.

    November 6, 2022 - Super extracted dark fruit and lots of oak, but unfortunately not the tannins (medium-) or acidity to balance out the fruit and wood. Pretty average but not a bad weekday night wine for under $20.

    October 23, 2022 - Very dark fruit forward lower tenant an acid levels than expected. Not very dusty.

  • dsenni Does not like this wine:

    September 15, 2022 - This is not to my liking in a cab franc. The flavors and aromas are nice but the wine is over-extracted without enough acidity to balance it out, resulting in a wine that (to me) is flabby.
