Love me some Loire. Love me some Cab Franc. This hits all the regional and varietal notes at a great price point (and w/ a bit of bottle age).

2011. Started with a beautiful floral note out of the gate but eventually went down the road of green pepper and band aids. I'd say my score dropped 2-3 points by the end of the bottle

Pretty solid. Good structure with still strong fruit flavors. A little bit of aging on the back end with hints of leather and forrest floor. Drink now, won't last much longer

A lot of dirt and earth along a green pepper on nose. Long tannic finish

Pure cab franc. Purple flowers on the nose. Muscle and high tannin (grape, not wood). Butter expression of cassis, Blackberry. Doesn’t end bitterly. Some earthiness

A very nice example: sturdy more rugged than I expected, structured, big time dusty cherry, herbaceous & medicinal with some pepper & leather. Great complexity & depth, decently balanced finish with just enough acidity to hold back the tannins from closing in too much
