Tasting - Domaine de la Colline Chinon

Name: Domaine de la Colline Chinon
Variety: 100% Cabernet Franc
Region: Chinon
Country: France
Year: 2015
Price: $16

Winery Review: Bitter cherry and tobacco notes are laced with racy savory accents. The finish is flecked with white pepper details.

My Review:
I get mainly red fruit specifically cherry and red currant on the nose. Slight spice and pencil shavings are apparent as well. The taste is very fruity and a bit atypical of a Cab Franc. Cherry and spice were present throughout. It was somewhat tannic with a medium body. It needed to breathe some more but not too bad.
