Good job Kermit! Nice and easy Loire Franc with flavor interest. Great value.

Fabulous little cab franc, perfect balanced brightness and varietal character. I love this style of Cab Franc, ripened, but not ripe.

Pleasant, smooth, and fruit forward. Very clean and precise. Tasted like Beaujolais, in a good way. Lacked a bit of acidity and brightness, which I suspect may be due more to bottle handling than the wine production itself. Will try again.

Glorious. But I don’t want anyone to find out since it is priced perfectly.

Equal parts smoky & spicy red fruit. QPR superhero with nice mineral & structural complexity.

Lighter bodied Cabernet Franc. Pinot Noir-like texture, but spicy delicious CF tart cherries. Classy & aromatic. 2013 vintage.

Pretty, minerally, lean with an overwhelming (in a good way) taste bouquet of violets, tea leaves, and black currant.

Quite good. Nothing underripe here. Not overly complex but delivers for the 💰
