Ruby at the core, see-through with lifted noted of dark fruits, blueberries, dehydrated meets, gravel, and faint bell pepper. The palate leads from mildly vegetal as it transitions from bell pepper into black berry, tobacco, and cacao. Light-medium body, med acidity, med- tannin, and a short finish. An excellent entry-level Saumur for $12.

A Loire Afternoon (SF Wine Trading Company, Tofino Wines, and Home): Clear ruby. Very perfumey, olive nose with light cherry fruit. Light to medium weight. Whoie berry red fruit and green olive. Ready now, low tannins. Simple and straightforward, just as one would expect at this price point.
