Webster Barnes Selections Chinon Cabernet Franc 2022

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Les Trois Terroirs is nicely aromatic, with good lift to the crushed berry, cassis and tobacco aromas. In the mouth the wine is graceful and supple, an elegant take on cabernet franc with lively red fruit on the attack and a rounded, textured midpalate. On the palate, red fruit is the focus, with upfront blackberry and plum notes balanced by a smoky, mineral complexity. Finishes with silky tannins and a zip of lively acidity. Will drink at peak until 5 years from the vintage date.

About the Wine; Chinon's chalky, silex-rich, limestone-clay terrior produces Cabernet Franc wines of great distinction. Ours is focused and pure, with blackberry, plum and graphite notes on the palate leading to a fresh, vibrant finish.

Serving Suggestion: Nachos, charcuterie, backyard barbecue staples like grilled pork or chicken and vegetables.

Varietal: Cabernet Franc.
