Given the greenness of Carmenere I've been awaiting Cab Franc from Chile. This 2010 delivers albeit on the new world, richer side of the spectrum. Nice stuff!

Smokey dark chocolate. I normally don't care for Chilean wines, but this is really nice.

Staying in South America, Chile to be exact. I have opened a 2012 Calcu Cab Franc. On the nose I am getting notes of black cherry, red plum ripe strawberry, some green peppercorn and gravel. On the palate I can taste cherry, plum, raspberry, asparagus and baking spice. This is a medium bodied cab franc with medium + acidity and medium + sandy tannins. This is a nice Cab Franc just not what I have come to expect in my cab francs.

Cracking bottle of real wine that satisfies like franc should for under $20. Sign me up for a flagon or two!

I tasted the reserve especial version. Vinegary not so smooth but decent.

Very nice, balanced Cab Franc. Not as tannic as typical cab franc, little smoother.
