HereÕs a great expression of Cabernet Franc. Smells as juicy and fruity as Beaujolais, with that just-out-of-the-vat freshness, and drinks exuberantly young and fruity, with ultrasoft tannins. But dryness and acidity keep this charming wine balanced and pert.

You wonÕt pick up any oak here, but the fruit is interesting and vibrant, smacking of ripe green apples and even more opulent peaches. ItÕs springtime fresh in the mouth, nice and round with a suggestion of fruity sweetness.

A classically crisp, herbaceous wine, full of poised fruit, flavors of pink grapefruit and acidity. There’s a good texture, touch of tannins, white pear skins. Screwcap.

A medium-sweet wine, with a delicious, sweet, apple flavor, finely balanced with good acidity, and a lifted fresh aftertaste. This makes a great apéritif.

A good, sturdy wine, fruity with blueberries structured with soft tannins. This has some good ripe fruit and a layer of dryness. To finish, there are dry figs and dark plums.

Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire, in all its light, crisp glory. The lemony flavors are weightless, accompanied by a chalky richness, while metallic acidity adds a refreshing counterpoint. This is a fun sipper all the way through the tart, clean finish.

This rounded, ripe SB makes the most of its peach and tropical fruit flavors. Green plums lend structure to this soft wine, but there’s a full, crisp aftertaste. Screwcap.

No question this is a taut, crisp, mineral, smoky Sauvignon Blanc from the grape’s heartland. It has plenty of herbaceous edges, but the core is ripe, tropical and juicy.
