PNP. Color dark garnet with purplish edges. Agree w others that nose shows cherry bell pepp and graphite. Swishing shows necessary acidity but most of the structure at the end is fine grained tannin. Sipping this allows the fruit to dominate the structure, and this shows surprising balance for the price point. Although there is polish this lacks weight in the mid palate. No doubt that the fruit density is buoyed by the structure. I like it

Focused and appealing bouquet, showing all that Loire Cabernet Franc should be, including peppers and graphite. Power and precision on the palate, great acid, grit, and finish. 89-90.

Medium ruby. Green bell pepper, herbaceous, black pepper. No funk. Soft but linear; light, even, mouth drying tannins throughout.
Tasted w the breton. This wine came off as lighter body and more refined while the breton was fuller and more rustic. Both were very nice.

Love the pure black raspberry note from this wine, great with pork, Paul Heinz paired this beautifully at Amour Wine Bistro. Very good value
