Cabernet Franc - Vallée de la Loire - Vin de France
7.5 / $42 / goatboy selections / it's a very nice cab franc, but definitely on the higher end of what i would spend for a cab franc. Apparently his 2016 vintage had such high volatile acidity levels that he was forced by a French wine authority having jurisdiction to destroy all his bottles. Id be curious to try that vintage. Not a lot of VA here. In fact, it's a little lifeless. I kinda get the sense Sebastian David upped his sulfite inclusion here to avoid the 2016 incident. Nice color, deep red with a lot of clarity. Lot of tannic character and not a ton of grippiness. Noticeable alcohol, but not harsh at all. Very juicy fruity balanced with a subtle spiciness. I do feel like the grapes have lived on the vine and created sugar, lived again the cellar to become alcohol, and then died in the bottle. Not buying the claim that there aren't more than a little sulfites here. Sorry.
