Staff Pick Notes

I have staff picked this wine before, but I think it bears repeating, especially now that it comes with a screw cap. This is one of the best values in the store, and if you can get it on sale, all the better. Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley is always a beautiful thing, and made into rosé, all the better. The fruit is a mix of strawberry and melon, with a hint of herbaceous greenery in the background. Such a delight!
