Medium body wine with some minerality, cherry notes and not a lot of herbal character. Pleasant wine but not build for aging. Minimal cap extraction. Drink now.

K&L Hollywood Loire/Alsace Tasting (K&L Hollywood): Funky nose with lots of green pepper; very vegetal cab. franc. Good acidity, with some green notes I associate with the inclusion of stems. Just a tiny bit of structure and, again, a tart finish. Fuller bodied than the Domaine de la Chevalerie ``Breteche" Bourgueil that followed it and with less fruit apparent.

Mostly cab franc but no pencil lead in nose. Big structure, rough now, decent acid and tannin so could age OK. Good with red meat.

Medium red. Tart red fruit. Very minerally. Slightly hot on the finish.

Light ruby. Strong, pungently herbaceous nose. Medium weight, fairly round but not ripe. Olive and herb, distant red fruit, gravelly finish.
