Solid, easily identifiable Cab Franc. A little dilute for Chinon due to the vintage

A Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley I've always enjoyed. Light, full of life and so food friendly.

Pretty funky and minerally but less so than 2011. Great with lamb or game.

Intense acidity from the young black currant fruit with smooth toast and red plum flavored.
