I wish i had tasted this side by side with the 2018. Many of the same qualities that i can recall but this vintage seems to be deeper and more brooding. The red fruit seems more red, the dryness seems drier. A lot more spice im picking up this time around too. I hope they keep making this.

Apr 5th, 2024Two cool varietals. I havent had St Laurent or Monteuse in ages. The plan? Create two separate, single varietal wines from these grapes. But when they were finished fermenting, they had a little leftover of each so they put them together in a barrel. When they tasted the resulting blend, they realized that the combination was better than either alone.
This is a full bodied and intense wine with rustic red fruit, good herb and spice, and high tanninic structure. Savory and dry. So unique.
