Wet forest floor x1000. And leather. Paired with two courses of foraged morels - absolutely perfect.

Bright red fruit, leather and striking acidity reminds me more of Sangiovese than cab franc, but still a tasty drink.

A little Flintstone vitamin along with some forest and sour cherry. Good weight, tannin and acid.

Old world cab franc deliciousness. Mild tobacco on the nose. Definitely a wine for food.

Nice. Deep for a Chinon. Flinty minerality opens to ripe red fruit and a tart cherry finish that lasts. Great structure for the price point.
