WineDiva's Review

Classic, fresh, spicy.
Consistently a classic example of Cabernet Franc, this Les Epinats 2017 is leaner than last vintage, offering red currents and cranberry, green peppercorns and fresh herbs, with spice and bacon fat. It's medium-bodied, fresh and spicy with flavours of tealeaf, tart red fruit and mixed greens.
A wine made better with food and with a slight chill.


 
Recommended Pairings
Good First Impressions, Seafood/Fish, White Meat Chicken/Pork, First Date, French Food
