A nice lighter style Loire red, its nose and flavors could not have been more cognitively dissonant.A medium black ruby color, this wine's floral and sweet berry fruit nose suggested that this wouldn't be a typical, earthy, machine oil-tinged, bitter herbal Cab France . . . but not so! The flavors screamed Cab Franc and had all the clingy, slightly bitter, earthy/herbal components you'd ever want, but in a lighter style, with very nice acids as well. It went very well with a simply roasted chicken. B. Imported by Neal Rosenthal, this was about $22 at Spec's on Smith.
