Aromas of blackcurrants and cherries with hints of dried flowers, which follow through to a medium body. Firm, silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Linear and tight for the appellation.

James Suckling – 92 Points (2016) Ripe, supple and fleshy, this is ripe, round, lush and easy to drink, due to all its ripe, black cherries, licorice and espresso. This is delicious to drink…

Lots of oranges and lemons with blackberry and dark-earth character. Full-bodied, round, juicy and silky. Delicious and soft. A gorgeous wine. 80% merlot. Drink now or hold.

Shows an overtly toasty edge, with cinnamon and mocha notes draped over a core of modest plum and black cherry fruit flavors. Turns to cedar and savory elements.
