  So fresh and minty! It’s hard to put a score on a wine like this without feeling self conscious. It's a table wine and proud as hell, and I'm a fan. It's clearly not made to impress at blind tastings, it's for brunch tables and easy conversation amongst family and friends. It's not pretension. This is the opposite of that word. Its simple enjoyment. Natural and honest wine. Cabernet franc in its most naked form to enjoy all day or night without fatigue.

  Lots of berry, with cherry nose and dry, acid finish.

  Unfortunately, this bottle had a lot of Brett, verging on the band-aid kind. I stored it passively -- in future I'll stick these in the Eurocave.

  Another excellent "Trinch" vintage. Lots of fresh fruit -- blackcurrants and tart cherries-- coupled with savory base notes and well balanced acidity. Wonderful midweek wine. Drinking well now.

  Tart, simple, and rounded out. Consistent with previous notes 20 months ago, though the V8/Worchester Sauce notes have been replaced by more developed cherry and raspberry notes. Short finish, but this is a perfect, juicy weeknight quaffer to enjoy with simple food. Drink now and over the next few years.
