2016 Domaine Olivier Cabernet Franc Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil

"Les Vieilles Vignes"

An exclusive Direct Import of Delfino Fine Wines from the Loire Valley in France to Oregon. Silver Medal and 88 pts at the Sommelier Choice Awards in San Francisco: "Floral aromas of violets and lavender lead to rich flavors of plum and black cherries with notes of dried herbs, licorice and jalapeño spice on the finish. Flavorful and complex with vegetal aromas on the finish."

Bright garnet red color. Very aromatic with delicate herbaceous notes. Refreshing acidity and prominent spiced-red fruit flavors with a slight touch of vanilla. The texture is generous, and slightly smoky with stray tannins on the palate and a medium body. 

Noble expression of the best grounds of Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil AOC region, the Cuvée Vieilles Vignes (“Oldest Vineyard”) is the oldest Cuvée of Cabernet Franc from Domaine Olivier.
