This is a different appellation of Cab Franc than the Chinon that I had from Pierre and Catherine Breton last month. This wine has a leafy, earthy, cherry/blackberry nose that is text-book cab franc. It's nice that it's missing the bell pepper component that I'm sometimes a little put off by (it has its' time and place...haha). In the mouth, this wine has lots of cherries/blackberries, some more leafiness, and lots of mineral flavors that carry to the finish. This wine drinks more easily than the Chinon; that wine had a lot more structure to it. I like this wine--it's definitely my favorite of the weekend (same with Sarah surprisingly)--and the cheapest too--19$. A
