2009 Cabernet de Saumur, Domaine de Chaintres

This is another of the bottles 'liberated' from last week's tasting at Lords Cricket ground. (See photos of tasting here.) Pale salmon coloured this 2009 Cabernet de Saumur (100% Cabernet Franc) has attractive red fruit aromas and mouthfilling flavours along with sufficient acidity to make a refreshing. It was certainly an enjoyable aperitif to celebrate the gradual length of the days here and signs of springtime in preparation.
