Damien Lorieux, Bourgueil (Loire Valley, France) Cabernet Franc 2009

Apr 9, 2014

By Rich Cook

There is a lot going on here for the price!  Stony minerality, cut tobacco leaf, smoky oak, violets, cherry, raspberry, tea, dill and coffee are all evident in this very food friendly wine that would pair well with pasta with bright herb driven sauces.
