Smoking Cab Franc for pennies! Smokey, ash, cherries, herbs. Delicious! @rxwinelab

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!

Medi to light bodied, minerally and a little acidic. Might be a good red for seafood.

Different to have a Cab Franc. Paired well with food, but seemed to have a fuller body, less fruit taste.

Peppery and smooth. Heavier than most Cab Francs I've tried. Drank on its own, would also do well with food.

Surprisingly good quality for a 2014 value wine from Bourgueil. Did not find it is beefy as some others, but good pencil shaving, not overly vegetal. Like it a lot.

Violets, currant, tomato stem, tobacco and earth. Yeah, would be nice if it showed a bit more concentration and mid-palate depth...then again, @ $12 per and positively reeking of Loire Cab Franc character is it just plain silly to critique this in any way??
Redonk QPR.
Do it, do it now.
