Domaine Guion Bourgueil Cuvee Domaine (red) 2017
Intense purple color. Closed nose the slowly opens to reveal some leafy blackberry aromas. More lifted red fruit emerges on day 2. Medium bodied, firm texture with higher acid and a classicly bone dry finish.

Iron, crushed rocks, pencil lead,
med-bodied, raspberry fruit and nice acid. A little light for a steak, but I really wanted to try this wine. The earthiness held up to the meal :)

Perfectly balanced organic French Bourgueil - paired with a braised chicken in a porter & thyme sauce with root vegetables. Love love, want another bottle!! Supposed to age well.

This is maybe one of the best values out there. Classic cab franc that is just so comfortable in its own skin

Floral and dirty, the bio-essence of Cab Franc 2012 silky tannins and nice ripe raspberry on the nose

Lively Loire Cab Franc. Ripe raspberries, white pepper, and funk on the nose. Palette sees tart cranberries, overripe raspberries, cured meat/animal fat, some funky wet hay. Aftertaste is super long- minutes with red fruit and lots of cured fat/funkiness. Interesting but s bit thin and lacking some of the inorganic power to take it to next level. However at sub $20, it’s a deal if you like cab franc!
