Rive Gauche Chinon Rosé Cabernet Franc

2014 crack a lackin

Plouzeaux's best rosé in years. Grippy body with some weight, yet clean and crisp on the finish. 2014

Crisp and lovely. Fresh herbs, green chile, strawberry, tart cherry.

This is a Cab Franc rose which I picked up for $15.99. The nose is very expressive with notes of red raspberry, peach, banana, and a little bit of earth. On the palate I get tart red fruit, strawberry, red raspberry, and cherries. This is definitely fresh and vibrant with a nice finish.

Meh. Not much fruit or acidity.

2013

Focused acidity. Slammed with Vietnamese food (banh cuon).

Bright strawberry and flowers. Perfect on its own or with a light snack.

Full bodied, some bread on the nose. Raspberries and cherries. Finishes dry. Nice.

Yummy and juicy, tasted at Prospect, watching Stranger Things in a saree
