Score 87/100 · Drink 2017-2021, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2018
Ripeness is pushed to the edge in the 2015 Cabernet Franc, a wine that offers good depth and juiciness, but far less in the way of varietal character. I would prefer to drink it sooner rather than later.

Score 91/100 · Drink 2017-2031, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Dec 2017
A blend of 77% Cabernet Franc, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Merlot, the 2015 Cabernet Franc is a deep garnet-purple color and has a nose of warm red currants, red plums and blueberries with hints of cigar boxes, fragrant earth and pencil shavings plus a waft of bay leaves. The rich, full-bodied palate has plush tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and earthy.
