Very nice example of a Chinon. Tasty Cab Franc with good ripeness (not green as some vintages of CF can be), clean nose and good mouth feel. Medium body with good acidity. A little bit of the classic barnyard smell but generally clean on the nose and palate.

Just because the French are too snotty to enjoy our wine doesn't mean that we can't enjoy theirs... Good at 60 degrees on a summer day
