Oak and cranberries on nose. Medium body. Bing cherry, some acidity, some tannins. Reasonable Gamay/Cab Franc blend French table wine.

Richly aromatic nose with fresh black fruits, green bell pepper, salty minerals and green herbs. High acid with lavender and blackberries on the finish. Fresh, lively, and supple bargain wine. Amazes me what you can get for $20 from the Loire.

I’m a fanboy of La Grange Tiphaine, but this is a little water logged, oblique, and high heat for a lean body.

Dark berries and spice. Cinnamon Hot Tamales and ripe blackberries and raspberries with a rough burn to swallow.

Grape and cherry fruit leather that quenches your thirst and withers so gracefully. So good with Indian food.
