The catch with these Chinon darlings who deliver so damn well is that you must love Cabernet Franc in all it's divisiveness. I do, but my first thought is this can't really be pleasing to everyone. They're astringent and abrasive and not as open armed hey how ya doing as most.

Ogla's Les Barnabés is easier to get to know, though, and something I thoroughly enjoyed - one part green and two parts red. Stem, wood chips and cedar and double dose of finger staining wild raspberries. — 2 years ago

With all the smack and throw down about the recent Texas HB1514 witch hunt, I'm not sure I should admit to heavily armed Texans that I really enjoyed this wine. This wine took about 45 minutes to express. Poured a dark purple into the glass with nose of nitrogen, cola, mint. On the palate, good acidity and supple mouthfeel. The middle of the wine showed an earthy mushroom and young, black fruit. Finishes lighter actually with a floral perfume. Tannic, even after 2 hours. Less than the 2012 though, which is VERY locked up. Great density to this wine. Tasted the 2012 in the winery but bought more of this one. Labeled appropriately as a St Emilion Grand Cru and sold at a Fredericksburg winery. Truthful about origins -- nothing wrong with that!! This one is good to go now but better in a few more years. — 8 years ago
