"...63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc...This makes for a more up-front, fruit-driven wine that reveals a deep purple hue as well as sumptuous array of blueberries, black cherries, lead pencil shavings, tobacco, and spring flowers. It's classic Bordeaux on the nose, yet has a wonderful sweetness of fruit, ripe, polished tannins, no hard edges, and just a balanced, seamless style that's ideal for enjoying over the coming 10-15 years." 93 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
James Suckling: 92 Points
Dark fruit with cedar and herbal notes on the nose. Some meat, too. It's full-bodied with firm tannins. Juicy and savory character on the palate with a balanced structure. Flavorful finish. Second wine. Try after 2023 when it will be more together.
