Didn’t notice the vintage till too late, but pleasant surprise: enveloping pillow of a cab franc, seamless soft tannins with the fine grittiness I love about the varietal. So not the end of its drinking window, though closer to it. Some importers’ wines I buy without question: Becky Wasserman (vía Martin Scott) is one of them.

Closed with big herbal note to start, but opening up into a something really floral, fresh, mineral, and pretty.

Such a treat to find this producer in my local shop. Big fan of their chenins but hadn't had any reds yet. Classic roasted red capsicum and black cherry flavors. Not gonna blow anyone away, but a good example of Saumur cab franc.
