Community Tasting Note

Saturday, August 6, 2022 - On this bottle, the cork was saturated to the top with some mold around its perimeter. Decanted and poured, showing some sediment. On the palate, this was surprisingly full for a Loire cab franc with none of the expected green/bell pepper flavors. I don't have enough experience with the vintner to know if that is a function of the vintage or house style.
