There are so many good value #cabernetfranc from #Loire and I feel fortunate because I prefer this style, light, juicy, crunchy and fresh almost tart style to some of the more expensive more complex styles.

Floral, strawberry jam aromas coming through right away leading into tart berries, pencil shavings and green peppercorn. Simple, fresh, mineral, acid-driven bistro wine with a pulse.

Ripe raspberries and strawberries on the that also come through on the palate, some earthy and herby aromas and vegetal and herby notes on the palate, and after a few sips the green bell pepper comes throigh. Pretty light bodied, mild and balanced acid and tannins. Very drinkable.

Easy drinking. Great body and very chocolatey. Clean finish. Crowd pleaser.

Biter and dry and not much of an aroma. In the past I’ve liked cab franc, but not sure why this is not as pleasant.

This was drinkable in an almost lackluster kind of way. It was missing that green pepper that I enjoy in a French cab franc. I enjoyed their Les pensees de pallus more then this one which seems to be aimed that American's sweet teeth.
