Côte de Charme, Cabernet Franc, Loire, France, 2018

If you're looking for a light-bodied red that's light in alcohol (and on the wallet) but still offers good character, this is a great option. There's nothing complex about this Cabernet Franc but it has approachable aromas of violet and musk leading to a ripe redcurrant and mulberry palate with refreshing acidity. Try it slightly chilled.
