This Domaine de la Perriere Cabernet Franc was part of a "France" flight I tried at a restuarant called Grand Cru in Arlington, Virginia. It is a 2009, from Chinon, Loire Valley, France, 100% Cabernet Franc priced at $21.99. Review from wine searcher: "As a varietal wine, this Cabernet Franc is light to medium-bodied and often shows vegetal characteristics, in particular green bell peppers."
This was my least favorite wine of the night. Although it is a 2009 it had not fully opened up yet and had a very closed nose smell. But it smelt of light oak and berry with a distasteful fishy smell (possibly just from the restaurant), and was vegetal with a splash of blackberry.
