Couly-Dutheil, Chinon Rouge "Les Gravieres" 2022	★★★ Washington Post A perennial favorite of mine, this Loire Valley cabernet franc is earthy and smoky, with flavors of dark berries and cherries, white pepper spice and tobacco. This style of wine always takes me back to my grandparents’ house: shadowy and dark, with aromas of wood and leather, pipe tobacco, comfortable chairs and old books. And cuckoo clocks. Well, okay, I hear cuckoo clocks going off in my mind whenever I taste this wine, because it reminds me of my grandparents’ house. ABV: 14.5 percent. BW: 555 grams (Average).
