Trinching it up on the south side!
**
Edit: I initially gave this a good ol' 9.0 upon opening, but after 20 minutes it went completely flat and lost all acidity. So disappointed!

Nose is full of bell pepper and barnyard up front but this gives way to a soft and smooth palate. Nice tannins to finish it out. Classic Loire cab with reasonable price tag. Happy to find it in HI

Wondrtful lite wine, versatile. a lot of red flowers, subtle red fruit, pomegranate, cherry, earthy notes, thistle, freshly rained on underbrush, herbs. Great value.

A wine to unpack by. Fresh, with prominent plum and pepper layers. A evening's solo endeavor never felt so right.

Named for the sound made as two glasses 'trinch' in cheers, this is a Sunday supper kind of wine where the bottle will likely be finished before the meal is ready. Farmed #biodynamically in #gravel soil, the 30+ year old vines deliver tart red fruit laced with Bourgueil's classic green bell #pepper.
