Wine Spectator

Ripe and concentrated, this is also vibrant and expressive, with black cherry, black currant and cassis flavors shaded by wild rosemary, juniper and cedar accents. Firm tannins grace the finish and should soften in a year or two. Long, saturated aftertaste. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2021 through 2035.
