Beautifully floral and fruit drive, but missing the green and earth notes.

Mouthwatering savory and salty nose.. loads of mushroom, black tea, raspberry, dark chocolate and spice. Huge umami expressions - with fruit, earth and funk all mingling nicely on the palate. Great buy at less than $20.

Classic CF that's light on its feet and offers a approachable texture and finish that doesn't need food. Chalky tannins, firm acid, and green tones present but not austere or abrasive

Super delicate color. Forward graphite, bell pepper and fresh red berry nose. Fresh cherry and a touch a black pepper. Quite complex. Shortish finish

Decent representation of varietal on nose. Pallette was way out of whack. 2013 vint.....

Bright, easy going red fruited Cabernet Franc. Doesn't have the tannic structure of the higher level Joguet bottlings, but hits the spot with Monday night roast chicken.

smells like green bell pepper, a little wet grass, cedar, animal funk, blackberries...tasting adds wood, cranberry....the flavors are dark and low- creating a beautiful contrast with the lively animated body/mouthfeel.
