2009 Trespass Cabernet Franc

The aromatic start to the 2009 Trespass Cabernet Franc is explosive!  Warm black fruits, oak vanillin and an exotic raciness to a red I haven't seen in a long time, especially not from a Cab Franc.  2009 Trespass Cabernet Franc A few minutes after opening this opulent red tapers down to softer aromas of maraschino cherry and fruitcake.  The mouth is full and voluptuous.  That is a word I haven't used in years.  It is very silky and round.  The tannins are beautiful where this wine begins to meet the back palate.  Further flavors of briar and hints of soil spring to the middle as well.  The finish is fabulous and drawn out.  -- Kirk Venge

2009 Trespass Rendezvous

The nose of the 2009 Trespass Rendezvous is a complex blend of higher barrel tones with cherry candle, black pepper, earth, pie dough and vanillin.  2009 Trespass Rendezvous At first, the nose is wound tight, but unravels very nicely in only a few moments' time.  The palate follows suit with an abundance of fresh, bright flavors exaggerated by a chorus of youthful tannins.  Racy black cherry is the forefront to a large middle mouth feel.  Bringing up the rear of this wine and through on into the finish is a mélange of incredibly deep, black fruit flavors.  The wine has great cellar potential to go beyond what it is today.  -- Kirk Venge
