Had no idea what to expect and this was a pleasant surprise. On the lighter end d Cabernet Franc and drank a bit more like an aged PN - with a bit more complexity.

Superb grenadine nose. Sweet and fruity palate. Not a long wine.

2012 vintage. Cherry and some fruit leather on the nose. Bright and medium acid, light tannins to taste. A great easy bottle from the Loire.

Bright, light fruit. Raspberry and pomegranate. Smooth acidity and tannins. Fun and drinkable.
