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. -

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.

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.
