La Pépiè Vin de Pays du Val de Loire Cabernet Franc

Has their Muscadet earlier this week so figured I would take the Cab Franc for a spin too. 🌀 Pretty straightforward but it’s what a Loire Cab Franc at its price point should taste like: red berries and bell peppers. 🍓🌶

Fresh and lively mulberry, sour cherry aromas and flavors, some pencil shavings, slight bit of funk and earthiness, but charming and refreshing, with ever so gently raspy tannins and bright acidity. Fantastic with rich foods.

Vintage 2015 - Lighthearted fun wine, With explosion of raspberries and modest acidity.

Medium-bodied with cranberry fruit that leans towards green. Bistro wine, I'd say.

At Maslow6

Medium bodied red, minerally. Would pair well with chicken. Slightly tannic.

Relatively straightforward, characteristic Loire

Delicieux

Super fresh, juicy, and generous. Excellent with food. Characteristic white pepper, fresh red fruit, and a bit of damp earth. Just overall hella nice.

10 years have gone by and still singing. From a forgotten magnum
