Subtle for a chinon, but still showing cab franc character. Earth, pencil shavings, raspberry, cherry, fennel and nice acid. Again, subtle, but for $8.99 I'm gonna buy a lot. Food, yes please!

There might have been something wrong with it, it was pretty vinegary

Nice entry level Chinon. Pure red fruit. I'm guessing this sees no oak. Simple, but very good table wine.

2012 vintage. Belle couleur garnet red. Good fruit on the nose. Veloute en bouche, bel equilibre entre fruit et typicite du cab franc

Very nice Cab Franc. Nice smooth and enjoyable. No need for food, just nice by itself.
