Green, lean, and mean. Closest reminder of my tastings in Loire which wasn't always a good thing.

Very fresh and youthful Cab Franc, structured and tannic, great balance, wonderful purity of fruit, needs cellaring.

Classic Loire Cab Franc, medium-bodied, great structure, cherry aromas and flavors, but great structure underneath, this needs cellaring (5--15 years?), great length, proof that balance beats power!!
