Crimson red, with light intensity. Nose was very tight, if there even is one. Smells slightly acidic. Palate has a slight acidic bite and very dry. Low tannins and light body. Very dry finish with a moderate finish. 100% Cabernet Franc. A solid cabernet franc from the Loire Valley, did not exceed expectations, just met then for an $11.99 bottle.

Pours a light ruby in color. Aromas of cherry and green. Flavors of slight be pepper and tart cherry win hints of tobacco and earth. Light bodies and short finish. Definitely not a U.S. Cab Franc but it's not bad at all.

Lovely Cab Franc from Samaur. Great acidity balanced just right w tannin. People recommend Riesling for Indian food, but really Chinon does pretty well for itself with simple Indian fare. Awesome value at $13

Strong red fruit and herbal nose. Light body, extremely vegetal (green pepper) and ashy! Leaves my mouth tasting like an ashtray. Good with pizza but not for sipping.
