“Mid crimson. Toasty, easy, fruity. Relaxed and easy to like. Bordeaux needs more wines like this.”
16/20 Jancis Robinson MW
“Very floral and fruity with violets and rose petals. So aromatic. Medium to full body, ultra-fine tannins and a linear finish. Hints of chalk and salt. The blend makes it so cool. This is mostly merlot with cabernet sauvignon, carmenere and petit verdot.”
