[Cornell Wine] Fabulous Cabernet Franc

For the few, who like me, think the best Cabernet Franc comes from  
the Loire Valley, we have a few bottles of the following gem:

CLOS ROUGEARD
2003 SAUMUR CHAMPIGNY
LES POYEUX
$48.00

About 50 bottles of this wine came into Oregon and I have six of  
them.  I think this is the greatest producer of the Appellation, and  
to me these wines are more subtle and complex than those from  
Chinon.  The 2003 is much more forward than normal, but the wine will  
benefit from a little cellaring.  I really bought this wine for my  
own cellar, but if there are Loire freaks out there, I will sell some  
of these bottles at $48/bottle.  At this bargain price, no discounts  
apply.

Cheers,
