Community Tasting Notes 8

  May 28, 2021 - Solid Loire Cab Franc. It doesn't particularly show the relative warmth of the vintage, but there's also no hint of green, just ripe fruit, but still lean, a bit stony and floral, modest fine tannings, I enjoyed sipping, but this is a wine meant for the dinner table.

  July 26, 2017 - Dark garnet color. Nose with immediate buttery note that lessens somewhat with time, strong hints of dark fruits poke through. Palate with prominent bell pepper notes but in a rounded way, quite pleasant and not overly green/unripe. Strong flavors of dark fruits on palate as well with mild-moderate acid, dusky texture, hint of herbal/tobacco. Not the most complex Loire cab franc but satisfyingly rustic, goes well with food. 89 pts

  April 25, 2017 - Purple florals, ripe cherries and a marmite-yeasty edge to the nose. Lots of acid on the palate but backed up with rich fruit and lots of that purple-floral/licorice edge that I am coming to associate with Saumur cab franc. This isn't my preferred style of Loire cab franc (my go tos are Breton and Domaine de la Butte) but it's a very serviceable mid week wine. 12.5% abv.

  March 10, 2017 - Light body. Good mineral/flint. Red fruit. Hint of floral. Clear and tasty. But not memorable. A good Cab Franc. Nice summer wine.

  November 17, 2016 - Quite grapey, and very fresh. Tastes more like cheap, young red wine than anything else. Blind, I'd be much more likely to guess Gamay than Cabernet Franc. Seems like a Drink Now kind of wine, even though the label does indicate that this could age for 6 years. Not really my style --- I prefer a more traditional/rustic Cab Franc.
