Inspired by the legendary wines of Pomerol, this magnificent Sonoma County masterclass centers on ultra-premium, old-vine Merlot. Captivating aromas of crème de cassis, dark chocolate, and licorice introduce a rich, velvety palate framed by extraordinary, seamless structure.
Food Pairing: Pairs exquisitely with roasted rack of lamb, thick-cut dry-aged filet mignon with truffle butter, slow-braised wild boar ragù, or 36-month aged Gouda cheese.
97 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 La Muse, which is 85% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 4% Malbec, is a smaller cuvée of 1,840 cases. The wine has plenty of spice box, cedar wood, Christmas fruitcake and Asian plum sauce, along with black cherry and blackcurrant fruit. Ripe, round, full-bodied and opulent, this is a wine that can be drunk now or cellared for another three decades. Interestingly, the alcohol levels are not all that high in any of these wines, with most of them rarely exceeding 14.3%.
