Reviews

Wine Advocate 89-91

A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 9% Petit Verdot, this has a very fine nose of blackberry, briary and a touch of black tea. Good definition and purity. The Petit Verdot add a little edginess to this wine that has fine tension if lacking a little length on the saturated, slightly chewy finish. Very good purity and precision though.

Wine Spectator 90

Features roasted alder and juniper out front, with a core of pastis-soaked plum, blackberry and black currant fruit underneath. The vivid finish features a mouthwatering edge. Best from 2014 through 2024.

Technical Details

Vintage

2010 is above all generally cold year, in fact the coldest of the last fifteen years with exceptional conjunction of the elements.
This year was a late picking again. We started to harvest the Merlot the 29th of September and we finished the vintage on the 17th of October with the cabernet sauvignon.
