Missing a finish. Soft and quaffable CF that went well with a light dinner of chicken and kale Cesar.

Leaner, firmer and more earthy than the Rochester Neuves tonight. It need rustic fare to blossom and show it's best. Maybe a hearty pate campagne?

Lip smacking Bouegueil, I love wines from Loire Valley! This is lighter in body, carbonic, violets, unmistakable barnyard, bellpepper, red fruits, minerals and bubblegum! Young..between an 89 and 90...much aging potential on this!

Slightly carbonic, savory peppery stuff going on. Really great natural Loire cab franc.

Funky like blue cheese. Not so ripe strawberry.

Nice cab-franc. Not at as full as expected. Some natural earthiness to it. Nice at the price. Heard 2016’s from region would be good...this one did not disappoint
