Perfect nightcap at Marcel, after a perfect dinner at the Optimist. The Ford Fry Family is crushing it!

Dec 9th, 2017I really liked this cab franc. Crunchy red fruit and good acidity but it had just enough weight not to feel too stringent. My kind of wine.

May 5th, 2018I am v into Loire C Franc as of late. I think it's because it truly does remind me of plucking raspberries from their bush and eating them immediately, leaf and all. Both the certainty in them not being poisonous and the special savouring that happens when you only have three small berries adds to the thrill and is captured in the wine.

Aug 28th, 2016Deep ruby color. Starts very brambly and green with reductive hints, but then the nose cleans up and shows great notes of flowers, orange peel, cherry and dark chocolate. There's a scent of wet rock that emerges with oxygenation. It has velvety tannins and a strong ripe acidity. Give this wine a few years.
