Inoffensive but not much else going for it.

Yes and three times yes to this fresh and gourmet Canadian cab-franc, charmingly restoring the expected varietal notes (black cherries, raspberries, violet) vegetable notes, licorice, and mineral tip. The relief of the markers of the terroir (chalk, rifle stone) are not as revealed as in the Ligurian reference but there is a beautiful purity of the fruit that French mouths like mine know how to appreciate. Good price/pleasure ratio.

Oui et trois fois oui à ce cab-franc canadien frais et gourmand, restituant avec charme les notes variétales attendues (cerises noires, framboises, violette) notes végétales, réglisse, et pointe minérale. Le relief des marqueurs du terroir (craie, pierre à fusil) ne sont pas aussi révélés que dans la référence ligérienne mais il se dégage une belle pureté du fruit que les bouches françaises comme la mienne ne manqueront pas d’apprécier. Beau rapport prix/plaisir. Je conseille.

Lack of body, thin tannins. Not for me.
