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.
