    (BREDIF Chinon) 2005 Chinon Dear Friends, Grab them while you can. Quasi- everyday wines like this are about to be a thing of the past (at least from one of the finest vintages for toothsome Chinon in the last twenty) and I’m securing as many cases of the best wines as I can. The 2005 Loire vintage had many areas of acclaim but I hold to the fact that the tannic/mineral infused Cabernet Franc from Chinon was its epicenter - the wines can be simply spectacular at the high end and at the moderate price level they are basically as grand (especially if a producer concentrates on one bottling instead of 3-4 luxury bottlings - as is the case below). The 2005 wines from Chinon represent some of the very best buys in red wine from the last decade and they will age for years, unfolding sweet layers of rock and spice as they uncoil. Glorious, medium weight Cabernet Franc, woven black/purple color with strong earth tones just after opening then rounding out with sweet gripping tannins - this is just what you look for in a beautifully made wine to compliment your meal on a Wednesday night. Enough said - I bought a case for myself just because. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for outstanding value and bang for your declining dollar ONE SHIPMENT ONLY with perfect provenance at this price 2005 Marc Bredif Chinon Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Loire2110
