I always love Loire Valley Cabernet Franc, with it's ruby core and purplish rim. This is a traditional style if not a little light on the nose and palate. The red fruit balances out the herbacious bell peppery notes well and neither the acid nor the tannins dominate. It's a fairly good representation of old world cab franc.
2014 vintage.

The 2009 has yet to hit its stride yet. Oriental rug, tomato leaf, and deep red fruit on the nose. Fine-grained tannins and sour cherries follow on the palate. A very good acidity, too.
