50/50 Cab-Cab Franc blend. Very 2012-ish with lush dark red fruit and velvety yet still harsh tannins. Enjoyable now with a decant but needs another year for the tannins to integrate a bit more. The Cab has the starring role here with the Franc playing background singer. Would've liked a bit more of the green pepper and tobacco Cab Franc characteristics to show but alas not in this Black List bottling. — 9 years ago
Nice pineapple, passionfruit and yellow florals on the nose. Meyer lemon, pineapple, apricots, stone fruit, yellow florals, creamy, touch waxy, nice acidity, round, minerality is soft-perfect, really big nice finish. It will be interesting to see how much more this wine will show after 4-5 years in the bottle. — 9 years ago
