Loverly little Cab Franc. Softish with rounded corners but a beautiful little funky caboose.

The most delicious Chinon stand-in I've ever tried from a domestic producer.

One foot in the new world, one foot in the old. Earthy elements, but a bit more fruit than its Chinon counterpart. Respectfully done, love this wine!

Nicely done, a bit more herbal than it's Bourgeuil comparison, seemed a little lower in acidity to me. Still, a very good wine at table.

That will get some attention. For those of you that are Cab Franc tweeners, and we know you exist, that think Chinon is too lean and Napa Franc is too much of a floral bouquet, pay attention to Memaloose. Just a touch of bell pepper on the palate, so good. So good...
