Surprisingly yummy Cali Cab Franc. Starts out strangely carbonic, but after a 45 min decant it struts some very Chinon stuff. A light, zippy but woodsy-sweet lingering red.

All the people saying Chinon on here have never drunk Chinon. Maybe it's the vintage. This is New Central California to a tee. Ripe dark fruits. Juicy. No brett. Quite nice as aperitif. Too fruity/carbonic to stand up to serious dinner.
