Tasting Note:January 11, 2018


Light mix of garnet and ruby red. Lovely nose with cedar, floral, cherries, smokey, and a little earthiness. Light tannins (4.5/10) and medium bodied. Refreshing palate with ripe cherries, forest floor, a little greenery, floral and minerality. Medium length finish. More on the elegant side but very interested to see more of what Maryland has to offer.

Made up of 100% Cabernet Franc and aged in 100% American oak on the lees for 17 months. Only 118 cases produced.
