Fantastic funky cab franc from what to me is always one of the best $20 drops money can buy. 2011 isn't as glorious as 2010 but it's different and lovely just the same. Real earthy, brambly, and foresty, with great cleansing acidity and delightful flavor concentration for price. Superbly balanced, this didn't miss a beat open 5 days. How many $100 wines could you say that about?? Like a trip through the forest to find a waterfall. Great stuff.

Delicate balance between acidity and tannins. Underripe raspberry, red pepper, earthy with hints of jalapeño and gravel.
