  Quite flat and indistinct. Would be hard pressed to pick where this is from or what it is. It’s not bad: red fruit with tang, medium body, some acidity, but there’s not a lot to pick out or recommend

  Clean, balanced, and fresh. More of a fruit-driven Cab Franc with the herbal and spice notes playing a supportive role; this feels slightly riper than most entry-level Loire reds. Enjoyable, but not particularly complex nor concentrated; a nice daily drinker but not profound.

  I'm a fan of Loire cab franc, and this wine is a good example. Much more bright and juicy than you might expect cab franc to be if you're accustomed to New World examples or associate it with Bordeaux. Similar to pinot in structure, with a flavor profile of red cherries, green bell pepper, and white pepper.
