Mature with red berries and modest tannins — 2 months ago
Generally not a big fan of cabernet franc, but this was recommended to me as an especially good example. Glad I tried it. Not heavy, but distinct notes of fruit and earth/leather. Really good abd sophisticated, especially at this price ($28 I think). Recommended by Lower Falls Wine Shop in Wellesley, MA. — a month ago
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Beautiful color of ruby with a wide brick rim.
Great nose with over ripen red fruits, forest floor and earth notes.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with plums, currants, cooked cherries, dried fruits, light wood, prunes, cola, chocolates, spices, herbs and vegetables.
Medium finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.
This 30 year old Merlot is still drinking nicely. Not at its peak anymore, but very tasty nonetheless. Elegant with some fruits left. Complex and interesting.
I've had a recent vintage not too long ago that was drinking better, although I did love the complexity here, especially on the nose.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will pair nicely with food too.
A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 12 months in (30% new) French oak barrels.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

This 2024 is everything that I look for in a cdr. Herbs throughout, soft fresh berry fruits with a dark stony spine. Lighter bodied and endlessly interesting. Viva La France — 14 days ago
