*exceptional* Cab Franc typicity
2021 Cabernet Franc- Barrel Select - S9 This bottling shows exceptional Cab Franc typicity, with a whiff of tomato leaf on the nose, along with copious black cherry and raspberry fruit. There's definitely an oaky element to the bouquet here, with some charcoal and vanilla, but it has integrated well with the fruit as
the wine has aged.

it's so freeing to teach in a first-year seminar knowing they also have to take a writing/rhetoric class because I can say, "I'm not grading your writing, just your thinking as evident in your writing" and so not have to pause and correct every novel misspelling of PERPETUA or FELICITAS
