Trinch! is the entry-level wine of Catherine and Pierre Breton. Red berries, cherry, and forest floor. The predominant flavor is mellow blueberry. Medium- bodied with nice acids to keep things fresh. Finish is on the shorter end of the spectrum but strangely nutty. Natural wine but no ultra-funk that overwhelms the fruit.

Fresh and bright with a wallop of tannins coating the finish. Cab franc done fun and right. If LA had seasons, I’d say this is a perfect spring wine.

Magnum! Peppery and fruity, mild tannins. Puckery at first, mellowed out. Touch of black olive.

Bright cherry and earthy notes. Medium bodied and paired well with a dinner of steak at poirve and frites.

Bright red fruit, slightly sour, tempered with leather and earth.

Black currant, fresh herbs, acidity and a tiny tannin bite. Solid expression of an easy going Bourgueil.

Pretty perfume. A garden of roses in full bloom. A hike in spring in full foliage.

Described as everyday drinking wine to me by Ian at Some Good Wine, I’d say this is a notch higher than that descriptor.

Roses pressed to their essence, black pepper and currants, blackberries, and cloves.

Wonderful Loire Valley cab franc. Has that famous green pepper note, though subtle. Silky smooth and lingers.
