Typical leafy Cab Franc profile, nice lightly chilled with burgers. Nothing to complain about, but you can find wines with more character at the price point.

Lacks something in the mid-palate and a little concentration, but is gone quickly enough with dinner.

2011 vintage on 03/12/16. Nice Loire cab franc. Not much in the nose but green veg with mild wood tones. Works great with grilled meat ! Much better on the second night, needs that time to breathe

A 2013 vintage Cab Franc that is so very easy to like. Served with a pork tenderloin w/fennel crust.
