Bold cherry fruit, full and luscious mouth feel. Smooth and long finish. Absolutely delicious. Would love to taste again after a few years in the cellar.

Initially lots of vanilla on nose. Somewhat of a fruit bomb with sweet tart candy taste. Did not improve over time.

Initial plum and cherry grenade followed by IED blasts of smoke and spice. Nice light tannins with smooth, pleasant finish. Perfect for eating with lighter meats and creamier sauces. Wouldn't kick this Frenchie out of bed anytime soon.

Very floral with nice notes of plum and cherry on the nose. Bit of smoke and dark fruit. Very nice smell. Initial taste is very nice, big bold fruit with very balanced tannin toward the end. Nice finish. Will be great after a few more years in the bottle. Great American wine at a good price. Cheers

"Frenchie" Cabernet is an excellent accompaniment to grilled chicken to an intense steak. Well balanced and complexed!
