Deep extraction. Blackberries, brambleberries, black cherries, and black currants. Medium tannins. Full mouth feel. Eucalyptus. Long legs. Excellent food wine and just to sip. Cabernet Franc is rarely great by itself. This winery consistently proves that isn't a universal truth.
First tasted at the winery in 2003. Always looking for a new vintage to add to the cellar.

Took advice from other members and decanted for an hour with great results. The wine opened up with red fruit aromas and flavors dominated by plum with a hint of herbal spiciness. Mouthwatering astringency on a long finish. This wine holds up well with food. A very good alternative to the typical varietals and blends.

Extremely good. Leaves the mouth watering for a full minute after tasting.
