Note di degustazione
A blend of 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon from vines planted in clay and limestone soils with flint, the 2021 Anjou Violette displays aromas of dark wild berries, violet, mulberries, spices and green bell pepper. Medium-bodied, layered and textured, it has a fleshy core of fruit and structured tannins that segue into a meaty, firm finish.

The 2021 Violette blend brings more Cabernet Franc to the blend than Cabernet Sauvignon (55% and 45% respectively), no doubt due to the cooler season. It's a richly-scented, primary-filled wine with the mint and green capsicum tones of Cabernet Sauvignon meeting the florals and deep raspberries of Cabernet Franc. It's a bright and energetic wine that's shy of mid-weight, with vivacious acidity ensuring this wine keeps its line. However, farmyard and leathery tones, combined with a drying finish, can't be ignored; these components dominate the wine's crisp close and curtail the wine's length. This seems to be a recurring theme and continues to sadden me every year when I taste.
