2008 tasting - This Cabernet Franc is a light red color with a strong, chewy bouquet. The flavor is tart, chewy and slightly sweet with a complex, grapy, somewhat dry finish.

2010 tasting - A transparent red, this wine has a sweet bouquet coupled to a strong Appalachian terroir in the flavor. The finish is long and complex.
