I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. Tonight I have opened a beautiful 2011 Catherine & Pierre Breton Beaumont Chinon Cabernet Franc.

On the nose there is nice fruit strawberry, cherry, raspberry, green bell pepper, roasted red pepper, herbs and wet gravel.

On the palate the red fruit continues with strawberry, cherry, raspberry, green bell pepper, tomato, herbaceous and crushed gravel.

This wine is medium to full bodied that has a smooth fresh mouthfeel, medium to medium + acidity and med to medium + fine mouthcoating tannins that leaves you with a medium+ to long red fruit graphite finish. I am loving this Cab. Franc and is making this weekend more enjoyable. Please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

This weekend couldn't come any quicker and I'm going to the Loire for some serious Cabernet Franc. The 2011 Catherine & Pierre Breton Chinon Beaumont Cabernet Franc is the real deal.

On the nose there is beautiful red fruit, strawberry, raspberry compote, herbs, spice, violets and wet gravel.

On the palate the red fruit continues with strawberry, raspberry, cherries and even though the red fruit is ever present my green bell pepper hits you with all its goodness and finishes with a spice and crushed gravel.

This wine is medium to full bodied with racy medium + electric acidity and trippy medium + tannin that leads to a long tingly enjoyable finish. Have a great weekend and please be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷
