Super interesting, chilled red! Berry fruits, green pepper, cherry, earthy, baking spices. — 3 months ago
Delish- fruity, fresh but a undertone of funk that’s great — 7 months ago
Good cabernet Franc character. Smooth tanins. Good value for the age. — 10 months ago
Opened yesterday, drank over 2 days.
The nose is very fruity and intense with dark cherry touches, earthy notes, some raspberry and blackberry scents too. I could even smell some peony notes too. This is really inviting. The palate is wide and long and quite complex. A good acid drive, some dark cherry notes all along, some very soft and easy going mouthfeel that is changing in mid palate with a great tannic wall, which adds a layer of dust over an otherwise quite juicy and fruity finish. In the back-end though, there is a tiny savoury note that pops along with a subtle bitterness. This is really my kind of cab franc. Really good stuff! — 6 months ago
Deep ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nose of red fruits with light earth notes.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black currants, black plums, cherries, spices, tobacco, earth, light wood, dark coffee and black pepper.
Smooth finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This 6 year old is a very easy drinking Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley in France.
Good right out of the bottle, and gets more complexity as it opens up. Tannins show up after 45 minutes of airtime.
I had it 4 years ago, and it is drinking pretty much the same, although it did gain more complexity. Will not get any better from this point, so drink up.
Good by itself as a sipping wine and good with food. I gave it a light chill and paired it with cheeses and crackers.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

Was so surprised at this one! Got it for a friend who loves Cab but is going to the Loire Valley and I wanted to show her a good expression of the reds from that region. Was delicious - easy to drink on its own or with food. Already bought a second bottle! $22. — 24 days ago
