Alain de la Trelle Cabernet Franc '15
France
Cabernet Franc
$10ish
Poundability: 4/5
Value: 4/5
Overall: 3.5/5
Bright purple color, medium bodied.
Diced strawberry and blueberry's with a slight jammy-ness. Spicy finish.
Strong acidic finish with mouth coating tannins. Very smooth and easy drinking.
Almost a more American style of cab franc, which while not bad tasting by any means brings down overall rating. Great French wine has depth, complexity and character while this just tastes a little to......crowd pleasing. All in all for $10 a bottle I can easily get over that slight gripe and would definitely recommend. For this price.
Picture pending.
