Last wine (#5) of a long line of bottles with family, & which accompanied us with a raucous NBA playoff game. A ‘ big’ cab franc heavy on gorgeous juicy & crushed red fruits. Always a low tannin affair with a lovely fine grain texture. No bell pepper to be found. Larger glasses & air greatly help.

Big, juicy Bourgueil- perhaps a tad too big for it’s frame-like when I try to fit into my 33 waist jeans. That said, if you like a fruit forward-ish cab franc that is lean on the bell pepper & heavier on the red & black fruit, & of course low tannin, here’s your bottle

Bought at One Kourt in Greenport. Paired with a Mapo Ragu, which enhanced enhanced pepper notes and tannins.
