Very focused, with a sleek iron frame and mouthwatering notes of black cherry, savory herb and sweet tapenade. Fresh and racy on the finish. Drink now through 2014. 250 cases imported. –JM (4/ 2012)
Yet another fantastic example of what happens when you have a winemaker who cares about the land, the vines, the region and the ancient craft which they were born to do. Frédéric Mabileau has just 27 hectares under vine across the appellations of St-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, Bourgueil, Saumur and Anjou in the Loire Valley, all farmed organically since 2007. Frederic works mostly with his passion varietal, Cabernet Franc which, he feels, is just now receiving the attention it deserves. This particular wine is picked from select sites in St-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil and is done in all stainless steel leaving a pure expression of its terroir (sandy & gravel) and varietal character. Lots of blue and spicy red fruits, rich juicy acidity and a really nice lingering length. Pure and good… What else can you ask for? (Eric Story)
