Wine Reviews

Lush and fruity, offering a core of cherry, black currant and blackberry flavors shaded by spice and graphite accents. A firm version, with medium density and a long, fresh finish.

A forest floor of berries, brambles, wild herbs and soil on the nose. Mixed berries, both macerated and fresh, on the palate play beautifully against anise and licorice, then dark chocolate and coffee, with a seemingly infinite finish held up by tightly coiled but refined tannins

Floral and medium in body, the 2022 comes across as somewhat restrained in feel, although the racy, ripe style of the year is evident in its red-toned fruit profile. Pomegranate, cinnamon and a kick of blood orange develop in the glass, adding freshness and dynamic energy

Bright, red-toned fruit, spice, new leather, tobacco, cedar, mocha and dried herbs open with some coaxing. In this tasting the 2021 comes across a bit light, especially relative past vintages, suggesting perhaps an evolution in style that has not fully taken shape.

There’s a purity and beauty to this that impresses you the minute you put your nose in the glass. So aromatic. Flowers, graphite, blackcurrants and hints of gunmetal. Medium- to full-bodied with tannins that coat your mouth but give a feeling of fine cashmere. The length and intensity is calm but rather endless. 45% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon,10% cabernet franc and 5% petite verdot. From organically grown grapes. Best after 2028.
