  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.

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

  This bottle never really came around or opened up after decanting. Hoping it isn't past its prime with one bottle left.

  Great balance. Dark fruit. 1 hour decant. Silky mouthfeel. Very nice 30 second finish.
