Deep Ruby with a medium+ intensity of red and black fruit aromas. A blend with 60% Cab Sauv, flavors of black currents, ripe cherry and blackberry flavors with notes of espresso and cacao. Fine tannins, vivid acidity, medium finish ending with fresh fruit, drink now, fruit getting tired, losing it vibrancy. No further aging benefit.

Feb 22nd, 2021Ruby with a medium+ intensity of red and black fruit aromas. A blend with 60% Cab Sauv, flavors of black currents, cherry and blackberry flavors with notes of espresso and cacao. Youthful big tannins with vivid acidity. Medium finish ending with fresh fruit, good now but should improve a bit over the next 3-5 years. Tasting Sample.

Drank 10/8/18. Nice pairing with lamb chops.
Fairly classic nose of red fruit, currants, earth, and a touch of spice. The palate lacks some depth, but red and black fruits are present, and backed by medium tannins. Medium finish. Drink up, I don't see this improving much.
3/20/7/4/3 + 50 = 87 pts

Oct 9th, 2018Just ok, a simple Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon based wine. Dark red with jammy fruit aromas, slight spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry fruit, some sweetness, with firm tannins ok balance, medium finish ending with spice notes. Drink now. Tasting Sample.

Really nice wine. Beautiful oak notes. Somewhat delicate at 12.5% abv. If you are used to American juice bombs, this isn't the wine for you.

Very nice at the price point, especially with a 375ml available. Cedar and a touch of pepper, smooth fruit with semi-dry tannins on the finish. Very enjoyable, especially on days 2 and 3.

From the same producer as Ch. Landat and Lamothe-Cissac. More forward and polished than Landat, more red fruit with appealing oak aromatics.
