Sturdy wine. Plenty of oak and tannin with highish acid at first. Needs plenty of air then starts to open up. Mushrooms and cranberries. Yeah that’s pretty pretty good 👍🏼 — 4 days ago

Power, poise and precision. Black fruit galore, spice, bacon and butcher shop, bonfire, smoke, olives, garrique - an incredible nose that gave me goosebumps. Perfect balance, immense intensity and just spot on. — a month ago

This is surprisingly good for a bargain-priced St. Emmie. Nose shows clear, ripe plummy Merlot fruit, some clay-inflected earth, some underbrush, and subtle, pleasant vegetal note. Very nice balance and mouthfeel. Not a bruiser, but more on the elegant side. Fruit, tannin, acids all nicely dancing together. I like this a lot! — 9 days ago

Redfruits, earthy, moderate structure, this seems mature and ready to drink, but is a nice Cru Beaujolais with moderate complexity. — 9 months ago

2020 vintage. This alternate property naming nonsense is a real pita for a wine list. Trying to keep it G-rated but biting my tongue something fierce. Despite all that, still picked this up. Plenty of headaches but oodles of staying power. 11.20.24. — a day ago

All Merlot and all about finesse. Floral and fine with no hard edges. — a month ago

Mild bouquet of dusty dark fruit. Quick mild sour cherries upfront with a dusty fruit mild tobacco finish. Definitely old world style. — 2 months ago

9.0

Blend of 80% merlot and 20 % Cabernet Franc from 3 hectares in Lalande de Pomerol. Notes of dark fruit, chocolate and mint on the nose. Round, good structure, very smooth on the palate. — 9 months ago
