N/Apts Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 2013 vintage

Bright ruby. Currant and mint on the nose. Juicy on the palate, offering refreshing raspberry and herb flavors. A cabernet franc to serve slightly chilled for everyday drinking, this is the most widely sold Chinon in the company’s portfolio.

N/Apts The Washington Post– 2017 vintage

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE – 3 STARS (EXCELLENT)
Wow — tobacco smoke, white pepper and old leather accent the dark cherry flavors. There’s energy here and a lot going on to carry though a meal. Alcohol by volume: 12.5 percent.

Exceptional(3 Stars) The Washington Post– 2018 vintage

Fans of Virginia’s cabernet franc wines should taste this beauty from France’s Loire Valley. Rich and savory with dark cherry flavors, it also carries a hint of old leather-bound books and pipe smoke. ABV: 14.5 percent.
