  Absolutely delicious wine. When first opened is all cherry and herbal nose, then moves into deeper fruits (mostly blackcurrant and blackberry) with that same delicious herbal quality.

  Blackjack Ranch Allusion 2005

  Snoothrank:

  I tasted this at the winery tasting room and was very impressed (I bought a case!) This wine is mostly Cab Franc, one of my faves, and truly well balanced, full, with a smooth finish. Best with 1 hour decanting.

  Snoothrank:

  I get oak, asparagus, licorice and some herb (I think its oregano or maybe grass) on the nose. A pretty decent finish with more licorice. A solid balanced wine. Thank you Roger.
