"DATE: 04-15-07 Appearance: Purple/ruby.
Nose: Red peppers, raspberry, sweet oak, black cherries, lightly spicy with a mineral character as well.
Palate: Dry with moderate to good acidity, midweight plus. Palate starts with sweet fruit and slowly evolves into cedar, ripe tannins, bits of chocolate and the rest promised on the nose. Great long clean finish.
Conclusions: Quite ageworthy cab franc good for up to 10 years in a proper cellar. High quality wine for use with food for the next two or three years, slowly developing into a complex stand-alone wine." lfw


FROM THE PRODUCERS:"Fermented in small batches and aged in American oak, this wine has aromas of cherry, tobacco, mint and spice. It pairs well with just about anything off the BBQ as well as Mediterranean foods and veal or pork tenderloin with lots of herbs. Cellars well; best 3 to 5 years from vintage date."
