Pretty straightforward Loire Cab Franc. Exactly what you imagine — no more, no less. Paired best with our cheese course.

Nice and approachable. Smooth with a touch of anise in the finish.

Beautiful, crisp, fruity, bright- hot only held up with a complex dish, but also came alive with the pairing. Happy we brought it back from our trip.

.Earthy nose with hints of mocha, not very typical of Cabernet franc. Strong on the fruit, amazing liquorice, good linger sustained by agile tannins.
