Purple in color, ruby at the rim, opaque and bright. The nose has cherries, tobacco and slight barnyard. Great texture Tannins are all integrated. Complex and deep. Just about at peak. Layers of cherries and black cherries and also some tobacco. Good finish. Delicious. This drinks well on its own but is better with food. Lamb stew would be a nice choice. Drink over the next five to seven years.

This a very nice value in Cabernet Franc made from biodynamically grown grapes. Purple in color, ruby at the rim. The nose is nice. 2010 was a warmer vintage and that matters for Cab Franc. If under ripe, it can be a bit green. Very nice black cherry fruit along with some cigar tobacco. On the palate, this has a nice texture. The black cherry fruit carries thru. Good acidity. There is some forest floor which is nice. This begs for food and worked well with middle eastern fare. Good finish. Drinking well now but should cruise thru the next ten years.
Putting Wine Tasting Notes to the Test
Tasting notes are a great way to get a sense of a wine’s personality before investing in a bottle you’ve never before tried. But how meaningful are they to the Average Joe? On a recent trip to Napa, we decided to put tasting notes to the test by comparing them with our own impressions.
