Found this hiding in the back of the cellar. Way past its prime (my fault) but in its day Im sure it was a gem. Now, loads of blunt tobacco and menthol. Still drinkable but missing that Cab Franc feature it certainly first shined with. Cheers.

Dark color and strong tannins. Pleasure to drink for the value.

Bought a case 2 years ago as a good value wine. Despite being a bit rough on the edges at that time it was a nice wine with food. Jump forward 2 years - this wine has developed into a little gem. Good fruit, nice structure, long lasting and nothing but positive remarks from friends over the last few months.

Dark fruit with earthy / dusty undertones. Good tannic backbone and acid.

Excellent QPR! Dark fruits nose and palate, a bit of earth, nice acid/tannin/fruit balance, drinking well now as cocktail or with food, but hopefully should hold for a few years.

PnP initially, but then consumed bottle over the next few days, no formal TN. This is a 2009 Cab Franc from the Languedoc. Clear in appearance, dark ruby in color, barely fading to med ruby at the rim. The nose is in good condition, still seems quite youthful and straightforward, displaying black / blue fruits, a bit of licorice, some minerality in the background adding a bit of complexity. The palate shows off a dry wine with med/full body and …

Color: Turns your teeth purple. Nose: Light oak and cherry cola Palate: Dark fruit, tannins are present but well integrated and smooth, a nice med-long finish. Excellent with food (great with steak) or good on its own if you like a powerful wine.

A powerful wine, also very delicious. Dark fruits, a smooth medium length finish...QPR! Btw this is my 2nd case of this wine with consistent notes.

Fruit led nose of black currants, and spice and leathery notes. Concentrated black currant and berry fruits lead the palate, with hints of espresso coffee and tar, rounded with a silky mouth feel. Soft tannins, which could do with more grip for my liking. I like this.

A nose of dark fruits and spice, dark garnet in color. A medium bodied red blend, with blackberry, black cherry, earthy spice on finish, a good value.

Saturday Walk Around Tasting 3/3/2012 (The Gourmet Shop, Columbia, SC) : This wine is starting to make us all believers. Regardless of the fact that it is very reasonably priced, this is a big mouth full of flavor. Good dark color. Lots of intense berry on the nose. Nice hit of blackberry and black cherry fruit on the entrance, followed by a well controlled, but welcome and enhancing hit of some Cabernet Franc style earthiness. A little bit of black …

I am very new to the "Vino" world but this wine has a wonderful release after decanting. Although it looks bold it has a soft velvet feel with a medium finish. I have enjoyed several 2009 bottles and will savor the 2 I have left. Utah only has 2010 vintage and the soft approach is finished sharply with a different nose entirely. I will sit on the 2010 to see what becomes of it in a few years.

89+, very good. Previous tasting notes are pretty accurate. Mix of red and green flavors with a nice long finish of chocolate and pepper. Good tannins but has a Nomacorc fake cork so I don't know how long this would last in a cellar.
