This 100% Cabernet Franc from old low-yielding vines is dark, ripe and driven, displaying candied apple, tobacco, and violet notes. This wine oozes balance, as the tannins and acidity are perfectly in-sync. Thierry Germain, the winemaker, has earned a very loyal following in France and his wines are in very high demand. A proven track record with Wine Spectator, the 2005 vintage received an outstanding 92-point score. If you enjoy intense extracted reds with a sense of place and purity, then I highly recommend this wine!
-Liz Dowty, Certified Sommelier, Santa Ana.

Wine Spectator Well-rounded for the vintage, with good toasty grip backing the black cherry, currant and tobacco notes. The vintage's firmness does appear on the finish, though there's solid flesh here. Drink now through 2010. 2,000 cases made. Score: 88. —James Molesworth, July 31, 2008.
