2009 Sheridan Cab Franc
I liked this. Great fruint and concentration. Drinking it now it is clearly a little early. This will be better in a few years. Great stuff hut a little rough around the edges. If another 5 years calms it down and adds some grace it will be killer stuff. — 9 years ago

Wonderful showing, though it needed a half hour or so in a decanter to compose itself and freshen up. Initially it seemed more autumnal than the 2000 was recently and I wondered whether it might have been better a few years ago. No, not at all, this is on a whole other level from the bottle I had in 2009, and those extra 5 years in the bottle are paying dividends in terms of maturity relative to the 2000. It has a deep tobacco flavor along with some cedar and lead pencil that almost give it some Left Bank personality, except that it cuts a much more slender figure. It has a pleasantly bitter streak like shades of the green pepper that sometimes arises in Loire cabernet franc, but that savory snap of bitterness isn't actually accompanied by anything green. Ultimately it pushes some of the buttons of a Loire wine while also serving as a reminder of what makes Bordeaux so inimitable at the end of the day. For all its wild flavors checking off all the boxes of animal, mineral, and vegetable, this is still an exceptionally classy bottle of wine, even aristocratic in its elegance and grace. There is no doubt this is from a privileged terroir, and the time in the bottle seems like it is confounding the easy style dichotomies. It is at the age where it doesn't make sense anymore to call it a "traditional Bordeaux," it is just Bordeaux, textbook Bordeaux that got itself right in the zone without breaking a sweat. — 10 years ago

What a unique blend! Cherry and cranberry grace your palate. But it's slightly inky on the nose. Fresh and tingly tannins. At first, funky but it blows of to total drink ability. — 10 years ago

Great stuff, Napa Cabernet with a well knit structure of grace and power. Dark red core with red edges this was ready to go from the pull of the cork. Graphite, currants and black cherry, a dollop of oak. A long fleshy finish with medium grain silky and ripe tannins. — 12 years ago

Always delighted to have this wine in my home. A very even expression, not a vibrant nor flashy wine, but the subtle power and grace of the dark fruits playfully transition towards dark red fruits on the back with classic spiced and graphite like noes. — 10 years ago
