If a wine can be honest (& a farmers wine to boot), this is it. Even threw off a bit of sediment for such a youngin'. Much much better the 2nd day. Doesnt have the acidic snap that some of my fave Bourgueils do, but Im rootin for it — 8 years ago

How have I not had this wine in my life before? Leafy green tones, dizzying array of orchard and citrus fruits, all super bright and ripe, fresh mushrooms, ginger candy, fresh soil, wax, and stones. Mouth coating and dense. Acidity is persistent but not searing. Balanced from start to finish. — 9 years ago

With Abby… This is so Mmmm... not sweet, flat, pallet haven sensation — 8 years ago
Prefer it freshly opened with limited air while it's still tight. Really good. — 9 years ago
Really has held up quite well. You can see the southern Rhone inspiration but the breadth in the mid palate belies it's California qualities. Great example of age worthy CA red. — 10 years ago
Fresh, light for a southern wine. Perfect in summer with a fresh salad ! — 11 years ago

Timberwolves and tannins. <butlersa$itch — 7 years ago
When in Rome (as they say) 75% Cab Franc, 25% Merlot. This needs air or you'll think it uninspiring (was best the next day). Violets and slight French oak nose. Smooth, clean blue fruits with tannins up front fading at mid palate. Med/short finish. Solid wine. — 8 years ago
Earth tones are prevalent — 9 years ago
