DiStefano Sogno

Soft, a bit unfocused. Lacks complexity or much finesse, but a nice easy drinking cab franc and a decent value. Works for my very fine home-made pizza...

Tasty. Very nice cab franc with little overt greens or herbs. Definitely a WA CF gem.

Great! My only complaint is that the nose is a little muted. Otherwise, this is drinking exceptionally well right now. The small amount of cab sauvignon added to the cab franc makes for a fuller, heavier mouthfeel and more intense dark cherry than I would have expected from a straight cab franc.

91% Cab Franc... Nice wine

Nose is pleasantly earthy with leather notes and hints of fresh seaside brine Color was clear, with some slight bricking on the edges Taste was a little tannic and somewhat tart, but with a full fruit balance and good body - nice food wine, could see pairing this with a wide array of cuisines Full mouth finish with huckleberry and oak tannins as the dominant flavors It's too bad this was my last bottle of this vintage, as it is …

Drinkning real nice right now

Shows its cab franiness but in a very nice way. Midly lacking in the mid palate but I would say that is variteal correctness showing through.

Nice nose, cherry, tabacco, hints of smoke with a nice mouthfeel and intagrated tannins. Well balnced cherry finish.

Novovino's spring portfolio : nose: a good amount of bell pepper and dill strike right off the bat with red and black cherries along with tones of mixed berries and a bit of cigar tobacco taste: nice full body feel, but with very drying tannins to go with bell pepper and dill tones, red cherries and cigar tobacco tones overall: the cab franc comes across as a bit under ripe as it doesn't have that lush feel that good cab …

Interesting nose of tobacco, dried tea leaves, earth and black cherry. Medium bodied with toast and spice up front. Black fruits, not too tannic, but enough for some gripping mouthfeel. A bit herbal. Decent acid, but not all that balanced. '03 was quite a bit better.

bone-dry but smooth, light tobacco flavor. earthy pinot-ish notes but stands on its own very well.

Tobacco on the nose. Big spice right away on the palate. Definetly a Cab Franc, no doubt about it. The finish is very smooth, this wine will age well, another 3-6 years at least. Need to get as many bottles as possible.
