Wine Spectator Review
Rated 90
This has a solid, lightly gutsy core of dark plum and fig fruit, melded with singed apple wood and tobacco notes. Shows buried minerality through the finish, with a refined structure that should allow this to mellow soon enough. Drink now through 2021.
Wine Tasting Notes
Red garnet color with a dark hue. The nose is discrete at the beginning and becomes intense with a nice purity after it opens up. Small red fruits, fresh cherry and currant aromas are very pleasant. The palate is already very smooth and silky with round tannins perfect for a great evolution in the bottle.
85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc
Alcohol 13.0%
