My favorite go to 100% Cabernet Franc. Smoky, peppery but smooth. Better once it has opened up.

I don't drink too many Cabernet Francs because I forget to buy them but it's delicious and light. Definitely will buy this one again!

Lightly pronounced raspberry with a bit of earthy/leather aromas. Paired well with a simple roast chicken. Avoid anything sweet or fruit will be lost.

Red bell pepper, along with red fruits on the nose. A little thin, dry, and no tannins. Pine needles? Red fruits as well.

Nose of cherries, violets, beef fat, bell pepper, black pepper, fennel, and top soil. So good.

Those red fruit and floral notes come through with some licorice and a touch of beefy meatiness and leather. Medium body acidity and tannins.

Another delicious, balanced Loire red. So good for such a small price.
