2017 – L’esprit de NoVa – 40% cab franc and I have no idea what the rest is but it’s damn good.
Also tried the 2016 which is beyond fabulous.


Kelly likes the ‘17 better


The people here are amazingly nice


2013 William’s gap – $65 – Bordeaux style w deeper tannins, complex. A little heavy


2017 Piedmont Station – cab Sauvignon forward. Kelly really loved this.


2017 Left Bank – 40% cab franc – off menu. Very good. Per Kelly, ‘complex w notable tannins. Cranberry. Definitely a Bordeaux.’ Nose is lovely. I like the L’esprit better


2017 Cinq 8 – again, another delicious red but a bit heavy. Kelly liked it. Thought it was a little spicy and a little lighter.
