Valerie Stride rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

The Loire Valley can produce some of the greatest wines in the world. The terroir of the Loire Valley adds a distinct essence to the wines that come out of this AC region in France. I thought this Cabernet Franc was interesting because of the minerality that appeared on the palate (gray stone minerality), but if you are the type of person who enjoys a fruitier and herbaceous Cab Franc, this might not be the Cab Franc for you. That being said, it held black fruit and berries with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg on the palate thanks to the oaking. All said and done, it is a simple and pleasing Cabernet Franc that is sure to pair perfectly with an easy-going evening.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
