"Sappy yet crunchy, with forest fruit, brambleberries, blood oranges and bergamot dusted with spices. The tannins promise impressive evolution in the cellar. Drink or hold, but no rush."

"Fresh and tangy with cherries, orange peel and light cedar and caramel character. It™s light- to medium-bodied with fine tannins and a crisp finish. Some whole-cluster fermentation. Drink now."

"The 2022 Cabernet Franc is ripe and structured, benefitting from the dry vintage and gaining ample fruit concentration. Black raspberry, tobacco, new leather and oil-cured olive build layers in the glass, driven by juicy acids and chalky tannins. The 30% whole clusters are imperceptible. This was done almost entirely in stainless steel, yet there's great textural roundness and suppleness."

"Wiemer's 2022 Cabernet Franc boasts lovely violet scents on the nose, plus hints of tomato leaf, ripe cherries and red raspberries. Made with 30% whole clusters and aged mostly (80%) in stainless steel, it's medium-bodied, with a silky mouthfeel and softly dusty tannins on the otherwise mouthwatering finish. It's very pretty, charming stuff at a realistic price."
