Dark ruby with a cloudy black core. The nose is of fresh raspberry and cherries, with a pine tree herbal whiff and some oak. Similar in the mouth. Dry, medium body, medium- tannins, medium+ acidity, medium length. This is a well made everyday wine.

A reddish hue with bluish edges, conveying a warm aroma of dark and red berried fruit. The wine is dry, medium bodied, with medium acidity and soft fine grained tannins. The taste is of dark red and black berries but also somewhat lacking in cleanliness. The length is good. This suffered in comparison with the Domaine des Roches Neuves Saumur-Champigny.

Strong fruit, complexity, a bit of finesse, but mostly unabashed cab franc: gritty, tannic, earthy, these three qualities survived to the third day.

This still has some life left in it. A real bargain on closeout. Wouldn't have wanted to drink this in 2011, however--still relatively tannic.

Nice, youngish, a little sharp and tart, great with a steak. Let the rest go a couple years.
