Aug 15th, 2016A very good Cabernet Franc, but not nearly as good as Constantino's The Franc in my opinion. A little strong and sharp at first but a nice smooth finish. Good but not great.

Mar 27th, 2016LOVE these wines! Bought them after a seminar at work and we absolutely loved them! The Cab Franc is nice because it's a little bit softer and smoother than the Cab. Less spice and tannins, so it's a nice one to just sit around and drink at/after dinner.

Feb 16th, 2016The nose delightfully woodsy, and on the palate you get wonderful spice and pepper notes with some subtle red fruit. The finish was very oaky and finished like bourbon with a warm feeling in the back of my mouth. Cab Franc for the win!!

Jun 1st, 2015Very approachable. Smooth tannins, crushed strawberries. Not as vegetal or astringent as other cab francs -- this one is soft and goes down easy.

Dec 7th, 2014Average, ok. Probably not worth the $30ish price point. Too fruit-forward for my palate. I'd like a little more vegetation on my cab franc.
