Deep Ruby with simple aromas of smoky dark fruits. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black pepper. Short finish, firm tannins, lively acidity, ending with fruit and spice. Drink now, no further aging benefit, just ok!

Not a very typical Chinon. Would have guessed S. Africa on this one.

This is aromatic and medium plus concentrated Cabernet Franc with bright notes of red cherry, blueberry, a bit touch of cranberry, some hints of herbal and green peppers and a subtle earthy finish.
Well-balanced and mid-plus tannins and a bit dry finish.

Lightly chilled red, doesn't taste of much even when a bit warmer. Meh.

Not sure why I bought this. Not sure why such low ratings. It’s summer and this wine is very refreshing. Not too sweet. Not too oaky. Light bodied. I am enjoying it.
