A nice vin de pays from a somewhat overlooked area of Languedoc. (If there was a vintage on this either it was invisible or the vintage sticker fell off.) This cab franc exhibits dark purple color, and is somewhat jammy on the nose, with elements of earth and pepper. Solid blackberry fruit, with muted tannins. Finishes light and pleasant. A nice summer drinking red for those of us who do not give up reds just because the weather turns warm. Producer recommends with grilled meats, but might pair well with a mushroom risotto. Recommended.
