  Nose is lighter, with some red berry and very slightly smoky aspects. Strong varietal character on the palate, with the reediness really coming through the red berries. Medium body, medium tannins. Medium to long finish. Good with steak.

  Mediocre. Meh wine with nothing reportable. At $75 price point, much much better options.

  Raspberries and red fruit with some cassis. Light bodied, with mild tannins. Good balance but not a lot of structure. Drank more like a Pinot than a Cab Franc. Enjoyed this much more on day two, so perhaps need to give this some time to open up. Upgraded from my initial tasting, but still seem to be in the minority compared to other notes.

  Decanted and poured pre dinner then took to the table to have with Beef Wellington and Ratatouilles along of a 2010 Château Duhart-Milon, I felt the Cab Franc did a better job with the meal. On its own, mostly red fruit, berry and spice up front but lacking a bit on the finish. By the time we got to the meal after an hour decant this had good acidity on the finish which paired well with the myriad of flavors in the beef dish and the tangy tomato sauce of the ratatouilles. Second time I've found the SVV Cab Franc to come through in this way. Solid wine.
