Wine Reviews
This red is expressive, fruity and driven by its bracing acidity, boasting cherry, raspberry, floral, vanilla, toasty oak and earth flavors. Firms up, leaving a dense path of tannins on the lingering finish. Elegant overall.
The nose is rich, with sweet oak spice enveloping dark cherries, pomegranate, orange zest, and a deep crush of violets—utterly pleasing. The palate is textured with round tannins. Vibrant acidity leaves behind traces of soft black cherry, mushroom, black peppercorn and black tea along the finish.
The bright, lifted red fruit is supported by cherries, dried strawberries, apple skin, chalk and potpourri. The midweight palate has a high-tension mouthfeel and piercing acidity, rounded out by a grippy yet polished finish. A blend of 12 vineyards, not bottled individually, this is a great representation of the AOC for the vintage.
