Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2014

I have no doubt that many wine drinkers frown down on cabernet franc. I must admit that I did once – until I tasted from a barrel of 1990 cabernet franc at Cheval Blanc 25 years ago. This wine is no Cheval Blanc, but it does have the raspberry/cranberry aromas that reminded me a little of the wines of that illustrious St-Emilion producer. The palate isn’t substantial, but it’s finely structured and has admirable length. This is a very pleasant drink.
