In today's episode, we tasted 3 different Cabernet Francs with a price point under $15. Two were from France and one was from Napa. We had a returned guest for this episode, V. Spoiler Alert, her Franc won the taste test. Set back, take some time and listen to us discuss the different Cabernet Francs by themselves, with pulled pork and with a cheddar ball rolled in bacon.
Domaine de Pallus Messanges Rouge Chinon 2020
Messanges is an old Loire Valley name for Cabernet Franc. A silky red, with a charming core of damson plum, black pepper and rosemary. The acidity here binds everything together, while the light tannins add a bit of firmness to the structure. Well-balanced and juicy, this would be great with food now. Drink now through 2028.
6 months in cement tank, 4,000 cases produced, abv is 12.50%, Price at HEB - $14.99
Michel Armand Chinon 2021
A vibrant cherry red with glints of violet. On the nose, a bouquet of black fruit and hints of spices. It Is good structure, with silky tannins at the core, surrounded by generous fruits and fresh acidity.
The winner of the blind taste test - bought by V
Cosentino The Franc from Lodi, California
Winemaker notes:
Aromatics of dusty chocolate, blueberry, and cedar. The palate is redolent of dark berries, lilac, roasted marshmallow, and a touch of anise. Velvety and juicy with supple mouthfeel, nice complexity, and a pleasant lingering finish.
Sophisticated tannins make this a great food wine; a perfect partner to Margherita pizza, cozy companion for chicken cacciatore or an appetizing side kick for an antipasto platter!
Excellent quality and vibrant character define Lodi’s 2020 vintage. The season got off to a slightly later start, with a delayed and slow bud break. The end of harvest found yields were down quite a bit across the region, with later-ripening varieties showing good concentration.
