Ratings & Tasting Notes
Jeff Leve – The Wine Cellar Insider (92/100)
“Medium-bodied, soft, silky and sweet and polished with a core of plummy, dark cherry fruits, chocolate and licorice, along with a minty edge. You can enjoy this early, or age it as well. You can drink this young, or age it for 3-5 years and enjoy it over the following decade. The wine blends 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink from 2023-2036. ”
James Suckling (91/100)
“This has a fragrant nose of chocolate, roasted herbs, walnuts, dried flowers and dark plum fruit. Medium-bodied and polished, with berry-soaked tannins and excellent depth. Delicious already, but better after 2024.”
