Aromas and flavors of apple, lemon, flint, quince, white peach and pineapple. The wine has subtle acidity that balances the opulent fruit and a wonderful silky texture on the palate. 100% cab franc made with very careful pressing to preserve a pale lemon color. Delightful with seafood.

A white made from Cab Franc. Refreshing and a touch of sweetness.

Cab Franc. One of the best white wines I’ve had in a very long time.

Nice Grenache Blanc. Not too sweet. Fruit and floral. Fantastic for the price point.

Really round and bright with tons of tart fruit. Round pear, light jasmine. Lovely med + acid, some grapefruit and lots of ripe apple on the palate. Just very cool. My first non skin contact cab franc. The body is there. Definently an interesting wine.

160019. 22. Wholesale. 100% cab franc. Chinon. Very rind flavor (low skin contact). Very pale. Savoury, big mouthfeel. Long finish. Appeing for another glass. Very floral. Bit pricy.
