The 2018 Red Wine Two Blondes is intense, blasting up with a seductive Merlot-centric bouquet of wild blueberries, lavender and sweet smoke before nuances of wet stone and baking spice emerge in the glass. This is a total darling, silky-smooth and elegant, with generous ripe red and blue fruits contrasted by saline-tinged acidity and the slightest tug of sour citrus. It finishes incredibly long and like a basket full of wild berries, staining the palate while also leaving it with an unbelievably fresh impression. There's a balanced structure here, but also enough fruit to nearly mask the tannins at this young stage. Total beauty. (Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2023)

Deep Ruby with aromas of rich dark fruit and herb spice. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and currants with herb and nutty floral notes. Fine tannins, nice mouthfeel, well balanced with acidity, long finish ending with fruit, mineral and herbs. Nice!
