Wooden scents, ripe black berries, mocha, spices (pepper, thyme). Dry tannins pinching the tip of the tongue. Enveloping and warm finish. — 2 days ago

Good fruit but funky nose and too acidic, despite the age. Paired with ribeye and the meat seemed to elevate the acidity - not pleasant. After two hours, still wooden and musty. Though fruit persisted nicely — 4 years ago

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose with blackberries, blueberries, blackcurrants, cooked cherries, oak, light vanilla, spices, licorice, light tobacco, coffee, chocolates and black pepper.

Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Dry and fruity on the palate with black currants, blackberries, sweet cherries, plums, oak, licorice, spices, chocolates, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth and peppercorn.

Spicy finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very enjoyable Cabernet Franc from Loire, France. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel and mild complexity.

Would benefit from another few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already very enjoyable.

Good right out of the bottle and better after 30 minutes of airtime. After an hour of airtime tannins come out.

Good by itself or with food. A nice sipping wine. I gave it a slight chill and paired it with cheeses and olives by the pool. Very tasty.

100% Cabernet Franc grapes aged in wooden amphoras for 11 months.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Incredible, fragrant nose - sandalwood and bursting with black currant, maybe some black tea in there, too. Dry mouthfeel, like wool socks that were kept in a wooden drawer all season and then somehow got left out in the rain. — 3 years ago

The anti-fruity Pinot - gorgeous nose, very reserved, maybe the slightest bit wooden but still nicely rounded. J loves it. Opened ~90 mins early which might have toned it down — 4 years ago
