Yes, and anyone who sneers at Merlot obviously never heard of Petrus, Le Pin, or Masseto.

I would think that as knowledgeable as Miles seems to be, he knows good wine can be made from Cabernet Franc, and simply didn't like that winery's poorly made version.

Masseto, now you are talking! Probably the greatest single bottle of wine I have ever had. BTW, Chinons are 100% Cabernet Franc and are alaways a favorite of mine, Charles Jouget in particular!
