Perfectly balanced organic French Bourgueil - paired with a braised chicken in a porter & thyme sauce with root vegetables. Love love, want another bottle!! Supposed to age well.

Lively Loire Cab Franc. Ripe raspberries, white pepper, and funk on the nose. Palette sees tart cranberries, overripe raspberries, cured meat/animal fat, some funky wet hay. Aftertaste is super long- minutes with red fruit and lots of cured fat/funkiness. Interesting but s bit thin and lacking some of the inorganic power to take it to next level. However at sub $20, it’s a deal if you like cab franc!

Just a really good value. Herbs, tannins that hold. Was a bit closed at first, but after a few minutes in the glass it opened right up.

Get to Know Cab Franc Class. Green and vegetal (but not straight up bell pepper), not much fruit, crunchy leaves. Lots of vegetal flavors and higher tannin. #gotm2020
