Great food wine. Crisp, red fruited, sage and savory herbs. Bright acids. Delicious.

The quest for the perfect Loire cabernet franc continues! This is an odd one. Exceptionally hot weather? Ripe fruit? Alcohol percentage above 14%. Classic cabernet franc on the nose albeit a little closed. Taste is heavier and darker than the usual red berries and reminds me of a rustic Rhone wine with bitter espresso notes and non-trivial tannins.

Crunchy red fruits, some violet floral notes and hint of blackberry pip bitterness.

Classic Loire Cab Franc scents of walnut, machine oil, bramble, and some dark black cherry underneath. Soft and mouthfilling, it’s got ripeness alloyed with really nice acids. I am not a huge fan of CF from the Loire but this works well with with mac n cheese.

Funky, fun and balanced with good fruit maturity and a hint of Classic cab franc vegetal note.
