La Porte Saint Jean, Les Cormiers 2021 USA Grapes I’d otherwise dismiss becomePlace: Loire, France Grape: Cabernet Franc Vibe: Classic, Sultry Old vines from a lieu dit on limestone bedrock, with a flint rich topsoil. Aged in barrel for a minimum of 18 months. Structured and spicy at this stage, but one of those wines I reckon wont hit its peak for another couple of years. Well worth the wait, though. Cabernet Franc at the very pinnacle. ABV: 11. 5%
