  February 5, 2013 - Medium garnet color, cherry fruited nose with some alcohol being evident, light to medium bodied as expected from a Cabernet Franc from the Loira, with decent taste. Fair everyday wine.

  November 5, 2011 - Light garnet. Red cherry and vegetal aromas on the nose. Light-bodied, lean with weak fruit, o.k. acidity, very soft tannins and virtually no aftertaste. Totally uninteresting.

  March 30, 2011 - Herbaceous nose with strong bell peppers and notes of tobacco, mint and soil. Medium in mouthfeel with a bit more weight than expected but there is little in the way of extract or flesh. Some reduction among the mostly secondary notes. Medium tannin and a touch of alcohol. There is pretty good balance front to back. I liked this for all of its secondary leafiness of earth tones but I can see it being an anathema for those in search of fruit flavors. Doesn't really seem like one to gain with age but there is no rush.

  May 22, 2010 - More 2007 and 2008 Loires (SF Wine Trading Company): Medium red center, light edge. Menthol nose. Dry, lightly herbal with very short burst of cherry fruit. Not bad but not much to it either.
