July 22, 2019 - Gorgeous, profound, authentic claret that makes you nostalgic for a vanished France.

Two glasses. Notes of tobacco, leather and graphite. Good balance and very good length. Very smooth, with no tannic notes. Go for it! -

April 26, 2013 - Sanctus reached one of the higher degrees of ripeness in the vintage at 14.37% alcohol. Blending the 70% Merlot with 30% Cabernet Franc, the wine has silky tannins, sweet, dark red berries and a soft, cherry-filled finish. 90-92 Pts
