I’m a huge fan of Loire Cab Franc and this wine is deep and rich. Forest floor and coffee notes on the palate. Black lush fruits. Very balanced and finessed. One of my favorite Saumur wines!!! — a month ago

We first had this in Amboise, France. I did find a bottle in the US. Opened it today and makes me remember why we loved it so much. Juicy and red fruits. Still has some structure as a 9 year old wine. Very nice acidity. Lots of raspberry and cassis notes. We enjoyed it on our patio! — 7 months ago

Strawberry rhubarb on the nose. Easy drinking this delightful wine! 13 1/2% alcohol so lighter but really tasty! I would love to drink this wine again so hopefully I can find it! — 3 months ago

This Blaufrankish is stunning. We bought Bought this wine in Vienna. Loving it! Full bodied, dark fruits and quite lush. It’s rich but not too heavy. Vanilla from some oak, dark red fruit. Layers of flavor. I wish I had more bottles!! — a year ago
