Black cherries and chalk in perfect harmony. Long and structured. Drinking beautifully and just hitting its stride.

I need more cab franc in my collection. Love the clean, bright chalkiness and pure forrest fruit flavors in this wine.

'11 vintage - Pure texture, cherries and only slight bramble. Just had an '07 and that's showing much better than most '07 Loire reds I've tried recently. I'm betting this '11 will age beautifully.

'11--much more Can Franc goodness than the '10. Loved the '10 but not typical for the varietal. This has beautiful texture and built for the long haul.
