August 10, 2020 - Wife opened for me as a blind PNP. While I was on a zoom meeting. The nose jumped out of the glass as she sat it off camera a couple of feet away.
The nose had great fruit and herbal notes. The glass had a nice amber color around the rim representing some age (or maybe merlot dominant). But the fruit was so fresh for a wine with age. It was clearly ripe and high in alcohol but nicely balanced with good acidity and just fabulous with a wonder multi layered pallete and long finish.
I was surprised at the reveal but we measured each oz out to ensure an even distribution of a delicious wine. I love a cab franc. But didn’t “guess” it. -

May 17, 2020 - Decanted and consumed over two hours. What seemed like good underlying material was overshadowed by far too much sweetness.
