If you'd a taste of true Saint Emilion style and class, this is your ticket to ride. From one of the more recent great #Bordeaux vintages, this bottle of Chateau Franc Mayne over delivers at the unassuming price of $45, you simply cannot get this quality from California in that same price range, a brilliant canvas of taunt tannins, painted w/ blackberries, dry earth, and ripe dark plums, and slightly dry taste of the skin. Decant an hour B4, it evolves w/ air. The finish is long and lasting. Purchased wine.

Lovely cocoa open with raisin and hints of prune closely to follow with soft tannins that help keep it from being too fruit forward. Unctuous and a delightful mouth feel.

This wine is almost black in color. Dark juicy fruit, hints of vanilla and caramel. This wine has high alcohol, but you'd never know it. Velvety finish. Lovely!
