Le Château Syrah Cabernet Franc 2012

Intense deep raspberry aromas. This bottle was open for two days before I tried it. (Leftover from a party I was not at.). Didn’t taste oxidized at all, was actually surprisingly fresh for a quarter of a bottle left. Quite tannic even though it was 10 years old, though integrated and resolving. Would be curious what a fresh bottle will be like in a few more years. — 3 years ago

Balverne Forever Wild Chalk Hill Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Red and blue fruits on the nose with spices and chocolate notes.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with fresh cherries, sweet raspberries, light wood, earth, herbs, light chocolates and peppercorn.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and cranberries.

This Cabernet Sauvignon from Chalk Hill is still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Fruit forward, rich and nicely balanced.

This Bordeaux blend feels very vibrant with lots of flowers notes. Soft and smooth, with mild complexity. Tangy and spicy.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

A blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 7% Malbec, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Merlot. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. A small production of only 415 cases.

14.3% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$48.
