Sipping Fine Wine

100% Cabernet Franc from Loire, Ruby color with aromas of red/black fruits with slight herb spicy notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with tobacco and herb notes. Fine rustic tannins, medium flat finish ending with fruit and herb spice, just ok!

Delicious! And good QPR. I sipped it on the hottest day of the year and it really hit the spot.

Mineral, chalk front; light, smooth body; tart, almost astringent close that fades to a balanced sour/sweet as it oxidizes. Served with quiche in winter, but would brighten any sunny day by water, too.

Watery, sour juice. Perhaps I do not like Chenin.

Tropical fruit, apple, grapefruit, and slate. Finishes slightly tart. Nice acidity and minerality.
