This is a dried lavender lovers wine, then the aromas of friar plums, raspberry, red and black cherry flows beautifully in the glass. The fruit on the nose exactly matches the taste and the finish is lingering and lengthy. The grip and pull of this Cab Franc calls for Cajun spiced turkey with cornbread dressing.

Deep, dark, red-fruited nose. of boysenberries, nutmeg and milk chocolate. In the mouth, more boysenberry fruit, with hints of cranberry, minerals, and cinnamon. My biggest note on my tasting sheet is "Nice!!". This describes this wine to a T. Don't miss out on it!

This took my top spot in our recent Loire tasting. Quite a bargain for certified organic cabernet franc, Sensei has a complex and gorgeous bouquet of currants, lavender, stewed peppers, smoke, cocoa and baking spice. The rich fruit is deftly balanced by ripe tannins that still hold some grip, and a lifting acid line that keeps the richness fresh!

Notes

When Jean Noel Millon took over winemaking and farming at his family's estate in 1998, he represented the seventh generation to do so. The 10-hectare farm is certified organic and Millon complements the soil with herbal teas and homemade composts to strengthen the vines' natural defenses.
