Laurent Saillard Joy(Full) 2017
Loire, FranceDark and dusky hued, cloudy with authenticity by intent. It's 80/20 cabernet franc/cabernet sauvignon, with dusty violets, black raspberry, black currant and swaths of balsamic, wrapping around a light 11 degrees body. Tannins are fine and sticky, to a stuck finish. Give this a chill and pour alongside bistro fare. Edgy, natural Loire.Tasted: 30 January 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $32.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
