The Story
A beautifully maturing Saint-Émilion red blend exhibiting refined aromas of ripe plums, dried cherries, earthy underbrush, and subtle espresso. The palate is medium-bodied and structured, offering rounded, polished tannins integrated with refreshing acidity and a savory, satisfying finish of classical elegance.
Food Pairing: Complements classic roasted beef tenderloin, grilled duck breast, savory vegetable stews, venison, wild mushroom dishes, and hard cheeses like Comté.
90 Points - James Suckling
A firm and chewy red with dried berry, plum and cherry character. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Better in 2016.
89 Points - Wine Spectator
Very fresh and pure, with a mix of raspberry, pomegranate and plum fruit carried by light floral and iron notes. Features a light kiss of toast on the finish for added polish, but this relies primarily on pure, unadorned fruit. Drink now through 2019. 7,083 cases made.
