{screwcap, 13%} Nice C-Franc, with roses, spice. Leafty red fruit flavours too. Dry palate, medium weight, with medium dusty tannins & balancing acidity. Savoury, short/medium finish. Not especially complex, but for under $20, no complaints - in fact very good value for money.

Reminded me of what textbook Loire Cabernet Franc should be like…that lead pencil and raspberries combination, vibrant colour, high acidity. Got to serve this cool so it came straight out the cellar. Uncomplicated but good value.

Absolutely spot on typical: cherries and nettles, and a persistent taste. A delightful summer evening accompaniment to a simple meal. Wish we were there in the Loire - soon(ish) perhaps, once Covid is controlled.....

Deep, clear red colour. Slightly toasted nose along with cherry and tar. Light and clean. Bright cherry and earthiness. Quaffable and enjoyable.
