RESERVE DE LA FAMILLE DROUET CABERNET FRANC ROSE
This is a new addition to Aldi's shelves and it's a beauty. It's crisp and dry with delicious fruit on the nose and palate. Palate weight is light and yet there's enough to make this a really satisfying wine.
Cabernet Franc is THE red grape of France's Loire Valley and used to make all types of styles from full flavoured reds to sparkling wines. And of course delicious roses.
Very highly recommended.

LES HAUTS BUIS 2016 CABERNET d'ANJOU ROSE
This is 100% Cabernet Franc from the Loire. And it could have been so good. Like the label it's a pretty little wine but sadly it is just too sweet

Secrets of Chai 2015 AOC Saumur Cabernet Franc
This is a red that takes some adjusting to. It opens as a charry tannic beast totally devoid of fruit. After about an hour the tannins subside, the charriness remains and some cabernet fruit emerges along with an earthy feral character. This is one of those wines I recommend with caution. It's well worth a trial but it will only appeal to a limited audience.
