Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by williamturck on 5/26/2014: Loved it. Want some more. (1555 views)
 Tasted by avp on 4/13/2014: No added sulfites, no fining, no filtration and semi-carbonic.
Fine savoury touches - fennel, aniseed, juniper berries and green pepper - to the juicy raspberry, pomegranate and sour cherry fruit on the slightly lifted nose with minor manour character.
Light bodied but rather tactile palate with balanced acidity, slight tannic astringency and juicy fruit of same aroma profile as on the nose. Orange rind, quinine bitterness, minerally sensations and minor greener touches. Good length.
I just loved this. Nuff said. (1598 views)
 Tasted by JOsgood on 3/23/2013 & rated 91 points: Really like this wine. Natural tasting in style. Light red fruits with plenty of peppery notes. Great nose. (1514 views)

2016 vintage:
"Quality and concentration is good, with Chenin Blanc being particularly noteworthy in 2016 while Sancerre is thought to be the best of the Sauvignon Blanc appellations. Cabernet Franc is 'delicious, ripe and fruity' according to Loire courtier Chris Hardy." - Jancis Roninson

2017 vintage reports:
