Product Ratings

James Suckling 91pt

This offers much in 2016 with ripe plums and blackberries, as well as spiced berry-pastry aromas that lead to a palate that delivers easygoing, succulent tannins. Great balance.

Wine Enthusiast 91pt

A touch of Cabernet Franc in this wine has brought out perfumes that contrast with the indulgent Merlot. The wine has weight, concentration and structure. Give it time and drink from 2022.
