Drank with Ann, Diarmuid, Stephanie, Siri, and my family

First 100% Cab Franc. Great food wine. Medium plus acidity and firm but not overwhelming tannin. Strong finish.

Has that tomato leaf, perfumed aroma ive found in older wines but already present. Good complexity with tart cherries, dried cranberries, bell pepper, lavender, spice, etc. Feels very French. It’s not fruity, but easy to drink and interesting. — a month ago

Old and orange. Nicely sweet with still good acidity. Great with cheese, especially blue. — 7 years ago

Vintage 2011 - a golden shine, characteristic smell with hay, apricot, hazelnut, a touch of mango, and a very slightly oxy tone, the honey comes back in the taste, lively and with good tension. #cheningans #cheninblanc — 4 years ago
