• Score: 89 Vintage 2021 Vinous Media The 2020 Cabernet Franc wafts up with a complex blend of waxy rose, white pepper, black raspberry and exotic spice. This is silky and round on the palate, with ripe wild berry fruits complicated by chalky minerals as violet inner florals amass toward the close. The 2020 finishes a bit tart and dry with savory herbal tones that linger. Shelf Talker Full Page Review

• Score: 89 Vintage 2020 Wine Enthusiast This tasty Cabernet Franc shows the beauty and depth of the grape. Elegant aromas of dark plum mix with fresh and dried herbs plus a touch of baking spice. The palate is textured, with fine tannins that give structure but never detract from the core of dark fruit and the minerality of the wine. I might even think I was in the Loire Valley with this pretty wine. Shelf Talker Full Page Review

• Score: 90 Vintage 2019 Vinous Media The 2019 Cabernet Franc is understated yet floral, as crushed violets give way to black currants and hints of allspice. It washes across the palate, with silky textures contrasted by tart red and blue berries that give way to saline-mineral tones toward the close. This leaves a bitter twang of blood orange and a subtle coating of fine tannins to linger, tapering off lightly structured and with admirable persistence. Very nice. Shelf Talker Full Page Review

• Score: 89 Vintage 2018 Vinous Media Peppery florals, tart red berries and hints of undergrowth come forward in the 2018 Cabernet Franc. It’s silky in texture, displaying notes of black cherry and currants with salty minerals and a gentle tug of fine tannin. Woodland berries and savory herbs linger long. This balances savory and sweet quite nicely, while also coming across as refined and polished. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
