Figs and ripe sweet fruit on the nose, with hints of smoked meat, like jerky, and deep rose and candied hibiscus nestled deep. Medium bodied, with quick, nice legs, with a floral palate, smooth and lithe, with silky acidity just starting to soften, vegetal notes, prominent florals more than defineable red fruit, and silky tannins that lead to a dry, lingering but still floral and fresh finish. Maybe even a hit of menthol showing at the end. — 10 months ago

Gorgeous. Not as familiar with the reds but they are just as elegant and compelling as the whites. — 6 months ago
I know a thing or two about Loire cab franc. This is a crazy wine. Light body. Complex. Faintest pyrazines, but totally integrated, so they only appear on the mid pallet and are disappear at the finish. bright, restrained red fruit. drying tannins on the back end. Almost alpine, underripe blackberries and cracked pepper. Drinks like a feminine Barbaresco with different fruit profile. Wild. — 3 months ago
Translucent garnet, savory nose of smoky mesquite/loamy soil/herbaceousness, red currant, black cherries and blackberries, green bell pepper and stewed tomato on the back but not overbearing. Beautifully balanced and in a great spot after 30 minutes of air — 7 months ago
