Body and texture are red Loire - like a Chinon or Bourgeil, medium weight.

The nose and palate are great, raspberry and mulberry, with a touch of wild herb and minerality.

Picked before the heavy rains, shows lighter than other vintages but plenty of charm and freshness.

Amazing freshness and complexity- in certain ways reminiscent of a ruby port although not fortified, syrupy or high in alcohol, but with juicy berry fruit flavors and gentle baking spices. Interesting and evolving, long but not overly rich. Great balance. One of the most intriguing wines I've had in awhile!

Delish. Plenty of ripeness/freshness.
