Love this vino. Amazing and my friend Tom really loves it. Has the biggest smile on his face! — 6 years ago
Fridays are for Franc! And I. LOVE. THIS. WINE. I could not believe the aromatics that exploded from the bottle when I pulled the cork. Seriously it was like there was a blueberry pie baking in the kitchen. Decanted for an hour or so. Deep magenta in the glass. Loads of Cherry and blueberry on the palate mingle with vanilla, chocolate, herbs, and earth - very rich, but so incredibly balanced at the same time. I’ve been a longtime fan of Detert wines and this very well may be my favorite vintage of their Franc to date. I’m just wowed. Can’t wait to revisit this again and see how it evolves. Really well done @Tom Garrett (as always). — 7 years ago
Very acidic. Much better with food. Nose had diesel or kerosene overpowering everything else. Palate was a pleasant surprise. — 8 years ago

Really enjoyed this smooth, easy drinking, red-fruity wine with a bit of minerality. — 5 years ago
With the irrepressible Virginia Willcock. A cracking cab. Savoury, elegant, but powerful. With red snapper over fire, with saltbush, costal rosemary, beach mustard, dune spinach. — 6 years ago

1st 2017 juice for me, Tom is gifted, this wine is joyful, like Beaujolais nouveau for Australia. Not so much Poulsard like this year but absolutely lovely, light and pretty, of course nothing like your typical Barossa Shiraz, a good wine to blow your Aussie palate friend's minds with. — 8 years ago
More body than 2015 but still very pretty with more blue fruits, not overly complex, just fun easy going drinking. Give it a chill. 12% abv. — 9 years ago

Very approachable. Evolution of this bottle was over a 4 hour decant. First taste at opening, was tight dense gorgeous fruit, cassis, cigar, stone, and crisp Howell air. Second taste an hour later was bigger, bold, strong ruby fruit, less cigar but tobacco was still there. The fruit became longer on the finish and the density was so sexy. Taste like how you encounter sexiness tasting. Rudy, Tom, Michael and Red Cap Fam doing it really really well! — 7 years ago
Barnyard funk nose. Dark cherry, vanilla, spice and minerals on the palate. Moderate tannins and acid in the finish. — 8 years ago
I kept wanting to sing "I dont pop molly I rock Tom Gore". Really interesting blend and enjoyed this, the tempranillo was noticeable and a welcome twist on the classic meritage. Needs a couple more years to meld, but I would buy this if I ever see it. — 8 years ago
