March 2, 2019 - Nose: Bright, soft cherries, plum skin and a slight gooseberry note.
Palate: Bright yet soft red fruits, slight minerality, crisp and a slight bitterness.
Medium Ruby. Dry with medium, slightly grippy tannins. Light body with medium-plus acidity. Good finish of about 6-7 seconds. Light, crisp and somehow refreshing. A simple, smooth and enjoyable wine. -

February 17, 2019 - I almost scored this as "flawed" as in flawed labeling.
When you sell Sancerre in the US, people are gonna assume it's a white wine. Putting "RED TABLE WINE" in small print, on the back label is hiding the ball.
Anyway, a bit light weight, but definately pinot noir. Drinkable, but not a re-buy. Held up well over two days -

July 9, 2018 - A delightful little wine. Light in body with a hint of black cherry and oak. Heading to Loire in September and doing some recon. Enjoyed it.
