Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review - Rated 94:
Sweet berries, dried flowers, fresh mushrooms and some currants on the nose, following through to a medium to full body with fine, creamy tannins that give the wine form and tension. Juicy and savory fruit. A blend of cabernet franc, syrah, carmenere and merlot. Better to give this time, but already a beautiful, juicy red to drink. Drink or hold.
Wine Spectator - Rated 92:
Well-integrated, with fine-grained flavors of dark fruit and savory spice that show accents of olive and dried tarragon. The ripe finish is filled with notes of dark chocolate and plenty of toastiness. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Syrah and Merlot. Drink now.
