This drinks (too) easy.  Amber/Brown in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with fruitcake, chocolate and a touch of Crem Brulee.  Full bodied.  Slightly sweet.  On the palate, this is delicious.  Flavors of Caramel, Chocolate and Fruitcake.  Long finish.  This was nice outside by the fire on a Summer evening but would have been good inside by a winter fire.  No food needed but some nuts and Blue Cheese would be fine.  Drink over the next five to eight years. 

This is 100% Cabernet Franc from the central Loire Valley in France.  Made from 60 year old vines.  Garnet in color, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose is classic with black cherries, fresh tobacco, cigar box, slight bell pepper, and spices.  Medium to full bodied.  Light tannins.  On the palate, this has complexity and some depth.  Flavors of black cherries, black raspberries and a slight green bell pepper note.  Long finish.  This is nice on its own but better with food.  This would work well with stuffed peppers (either lentils or ground meat).  Drink  over the next ten years.  

This is 100% Pinot Noir from the Loire Valley in France.  It is more "elegant" in style.  Pale ruby in color, clear and bright.  The nose has cherries, rhubarb, and slight cranberries.  Clean.  Light, wispy tannins.  Nice balance.  On the palate, the flavors match the nose with cherries, rhubarb and slight cranberries.  Good finish.  This wine needs food to show its best.  It has some complexity but is made in a lighter style.  This would be a nice match with Roasted Turkey or a Mushroom Risotto.  Drink over the next five years.  

This is 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the eastern end of the Loire Valley in France.  The "ES-56" stands for the Eocene period in which the soils were created 56 Million years ago.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose features lemons, slight peach and gun flint.  Medium bodied.  Slightly oily texture.  On the palate, the lemon comes thru along with White Peaches and slight minerality.  Good finish.  This drinks well on its own and will work well with lighter foods.  Chicken Salad would be a nice pairing.  Drink over the next five to eight years.  

This is 100% Melon de Bourgogne from the western end of the Loire Valley near the Atlantic.  It is a go to source for well priced white wines that are crisp and mineral driven.  This is light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is deep with Crushed shells, slight Granny Smith Apples and a hint of lemons.  Medium bodied.  Crisp acidity.  On the palate, this has a nice minerality with a touch of citrus.  Long finish.  The classic pairing would be Oysters but it would work well with (spicy) Thai Food.  Drink over the next five to seven years.
