This 100% Cabernet Franc is an unoaked wine from Chinon with fragrant floral aromas, youthful wild berries, plum fruit, and supple chalky tannins. The palate shows fresh and vibrant fruit with good length on the finish. Serve it alongside pasta dishes with tomato sauce, or enjoy it with lamb chops or ribeye.

This wine will make you pucker and opens with bread dough, sliced red apple, dried hay and shaved orange peel. Tart fruit opens the palate that sees youthful acidity in the lead all the way to the twist of lemon on the finish. Pair with seafood and fried dishes including calamari and onion rings. Best Buy.
