nose: nice nose of sweet citrus tones, lemons, tree fruits, and some bits of minerals. The tones are nice, but more surface tones with a simplicity to them

taste: good medium+ acidity gives this a refreshing spine with nice tones of sweet citrus', minerals, and lemons. The tones are pretty easy going and don't provide much depth

overall: a nice summer time muscadet. This should also work well with food as it is asking for some food to help it

nose: nice and crisp nose of tart citrus tones, lemon zest, limes, and mineral tones. Good balance with good aromatics

taste: refreshing medium feel with good high acidity and fresh tones of tart citrus', lemon zest, limes and mineral tones. Excellent depth and the acidity isn't obtrusive either

taste: good light feel with lower acidity and good tones of citrus', minerals, and bits of white fruits. Well balanced, but with surface tones

overall: a good sipping wine with good balance. Perfect for food and is perfect for warmer weather or for a party. Not very complex, but its not trying to be

nose: nice hi-toned nose of red cherries, cranberries, sour berries, herbs, and red fruits. Good complexity, but lacking depth as it comes off as more surface tones right now

taste: excellent medium feel with nice tones of red cherries, cranberries, red fruits and a touch of herbs. An easier feel with good tones, but again is lacking a bit of depth that would really make the wine

overall: a really good Cab Franc. Well balanced with good tones, but it just lacks a bit of depth that would really add to the wine. At the price, this is a quality buy and would work great with a lot of food

nose: rather robust nose filled with red cherries, earthen tones, red fruits, dark fruits, and a good bit of cedar. Well balanced with good depth to it

taste: full bodied with rich tannins that make themselves know along with robust tones of red cherries, earth, dark fruits and some bits of black currants

overall: Well balanced and interesting to see a malbec come from the loire. Sort of a cross between a cahors and a argentinian malbec, this has a real robust and masculine quality to it that would make it great with steak and is very drinkable on its own

nose: real tasty nose of minerals, wet stones, citrus', and a good amount of melons. Nice depth and has a real breezy sense to it

nose: really good and fresh tones of citrus', lemons, melons, bits of guava and passion fruit. Really nice complexity and the tropical tones really add to it

taste: excellent lighter feel with good medium acidity and tones of lemons, melons, passion fruit and some bits of fresh picked citrus tones. A bit hollow on the mid-palate detracts a bit on the wine

overall: a really nice wine. Light and tropical, this is a real good one for the summer. It'd be nice if the mid-palate was fleshed out a bit more, but overall this works very well and is a real nice wine

nose: excellent nose filled with good tones of citrus', grass, lemons, and a good bit of navel oranges. Good depth with a nice sweeter tinge to the tones

taste: real good medium feel with citrus', white peaches, meyer lemons, navel oranges and some bits of granny smith apples. Good medium+ acidity gives this a good spine

overall: a really good chenin blanc. Seems like it needs to add some depth to really have it be expressive. Could use a bit of aging, but has a real good sweeter style to it without being overtly sweet

nose: nice and light nose that is fairly aromatic with good tones of lemons, crisp citrus tones, minerals, and bits of tart apples. not the deepest nose, but very good

taste: very nice refreshing medium/high acidity and a good light feel with good tones of melons, lemons, crisp citrus tones and some bits of minerals underneath

taste: attractive and elegant lighter feel with earthen tones, bits of earth spices, berries, and red florals. Good medium+ acidity backs this up and gives it a nice backbone

taste: Good and tasty medium feel with excellent tones of apples, pears, tree fruits and bits of white peach tones. Good depth with medium acidity

nose: excellent depth with a real good tartness to the nose. Well balanced tones of citrus', white fruits, minerals, peaches, pears and some tropical citrus tones blend together

taste: Good layered medium feel with medium+ acidity and is fairly tart right now. Sweeter tones of white fruits, minerals, pears, and peaches balance well together with good depth

nose: nice and aromatic nose of red fruits, red cherries, and currants. Good depth with nice balance that is very attractive

taste: chewy tannins with a medium/full feel and balanced tones of red fruits, red cherries, herbs and currants

overall: A very nice wine. Well balanced and young, this should be rather nice with a few more years on it. Has good aromatics right now, but the tannins take over too much on the palate at this moment

nose: intriguing nose of honeydew melons, beeswax, various nutty tones, and some bits of honeycomb. One of the more interesting noses that I smelled all day and has good depth to it to boot

taste: excellent medium feel with medium acidity and intriguing tones of hazelnuts, honeydew melons, honeycomb, and various nutty tones. Has a real good balance to it and is rather lively

overall: This was easily one of the more intriguing and interesting wines that I tasted on the day. A lot of complexity on the nose, but didn't have that real good layering that would bring it to another level.

taste: Succulent tones of white fruits, melons, apples, tart lemons, bits of tropical citrus'. Good depth with a real nice and tasty medium feel with good medium+ acidity

overall: this can use some more time to come together. Should add some layering with a bit more age, and this could be a real great wine if that happens.

taste: Medium/full feel with coarse tannins and medium/high acidity along with balanced tones of red fruits, red cherries, herbs, red currants, and some bits of dill

overall: needs a couple more years, but it should turn out real nicely. Well balanced with excellent aromatics that just need some more layering to really show itself

nose: nice and fruity nose of red fruits, red currants, and red cherries with a touch of herbs. A bit simple and lacking depth

taste: solid medium feel with nice tones of red fruits, red cherries, herbs, and a touch of florals. Well balanced, but the tones seem more surface then having real depth

overall: a decent wine. Solid and somewhat simple on the depth. This would probably be a good food wine, but not much more

nose: lovely nose of red fruits, red cherries, berries, wild flowers, and garden herbs. There is a chambolle-like quality to it on the nose and has a higher toned sense to it

taste: great tannins still support this wine with a real good medium feel and balanced tones of tobacco, cedar, red fruits, wild flowers, and garden herbs. Great feel and still coming off as young with the tannins while the fruit can support further aging as well

overall: this was a real nice chinon. Pretty with a higher toned quality that comes off almost burgundian in some ways. A bit understated, but has a ripeness that 03 can bring

taste: very tannic with a robust medium/full feel and tones of currants, dark florals, herbs, dark red cherries and dill tones. Good depth, but the tannins are almost overpowering right now

taste: Polished and pretty medium feel with medium acidity and elegant tones of cedar, red cherries, various floral tones, red fruits and bits of roasted herbs. Good tannins support this still and help give it some backbone

overall: a very good Chinon. Well balanced with good aromatics, this is quite nice and would be a great food chinon

taste: lighter feel that is nice and elegant with well balanced tones of red currants, red florals, red fruits, and some cherry tones. A bit lacking in depth and on the mid-palate as well

overall: A nice Chinon, but rather non-descript and boring. If it had some depth it would possibly be great, but it doesn't and is rather lacking
