Domaine De Peyanne Cave De Saumur Cabernet Franc 2009, A.C., Saumur, Loire, France: Vintages Wine Panel: This wine won a Gold Medal at the Concours Général Agricole in Paris in 2010. The Saumur region is particularly noted for their terrific Cabernet Francs. A bright purple colour and a floral, cherry-infused nose make way for peppery flavours of plum, black raspberry, black cherry and cassis. There’s good balance here, and serious length. My note: Juicy purple plums and blackberries. Savoury, full-bodied and delicious. This is a great wine for book club gatherings. Drink: 2011-2015. 197038 13% XD 750 mL $13.95 Score: 87/100.
