This wine was available at Calabria Pizza in Cottam. Ordered a bottle with our Salty Dog Pizza. What a difference a few months can make. The wine has improved so much in this time. Perhaps just needed a little time to recover from bottle shock? Nice red fruit nose. Cherry flavours on the palate. Good texture and moderate length. 5 out of 5 stars.

It's still good and can hold its own but it was just not what I was expecting from CREW. When I think of red wines from CREW, I think "BIG REDS". This one is a little green and the tannins are off just a little. This wine may just need a little time to sit in the cellar to find it's place. I have a few extra bottles of this wine so I am putting them back in the cellar and will have a look at this wine again a little later on. I am just a little disappointed with this Cab Franc.
