Cabernet Franc

Active in Chilean agriculture, grape growing and winemaking since 1740, the Echeverria family established their current vineyards and winery in 1923 in the outskirts of Molina, a town in the Curico Valley.

Baudry is simply put, top dog in Chinon right now. Beautiful cherry fruit at the core with that signature Cab Franc lining of herbaceous goodness. The 'Les Granges' bottling is a fresh and easy to love Chinon that is extremely enjoyable in its youth.

Clos Rougeard comes from two plots of half an hectare each. It is a racy and dense wine, aged 18 to 24 months in new oak barrels. With its magnificent complexity, this wine reveals exceptional longevity and finesse.

Madiran is a classic region of France that has been too over-looked recently. Kind of an alt-Bordeaux, the wines have power, energy and really deliver a lot of value. A little Cab Franc and Cab Sauv is blended here with the native Tannat.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cab Franc blend with strong showing of black currant, black cherry, kirsch and blueberry fruits with secondary notes of wild thyme, tobacco and iron. Dense tannins lean to the rustic side with a fine length.

Cassis, blackberry, underbrush, tar, coffee bean, and dark cherry are framed by well rounded, grippy tannins. A vein of minerality cuts through the fruit and defines the depth and structure.

Made by a man who loves to compost as much as you do. Maybe even more! Thierry Germain is leading the way in natural wines in Saumur-Champigny, arguably the best region in the world for Cabernet Franc. Silky, elegant, and pure.

A really expressive and fresh Cabernet Franc w/ a touch of Gamay from the Sierra Nevadas. If your Loire to California ratio is 20 to 1, make this your 1!
