Deep ruby. Bold tannins, surround by red and black berry fruit. Cab Franc notes of herbaceous and figs. Sweet aftertaste. Nice wine for price point.

Some hints of nice flavors, but not at all knit together. Fruit has faded. Fine for weekday wine.

Still really fresh. Real interesting. I like this a lot, but also enjoyed the younger versions as well

Light for a cab. Medium body, slightly acidic, medium finish. It’s a pretty good, but it’s not anything special.

Extremely well-balanced. Fresh raspberry with integrated, supple tannins.
