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.

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.
