Livonietisr Likes this wine: 90 points
February 22, 2024 - Another of the boutique properties from proprietor Jonathan Malthus, Laforge is essentially an unfiltered, very old vine Merlot of St.-Emilion. In 2012, the blend is 92% of the Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. Aromas of plum, cherry, spices, tobacco, leather. Full body, medium acidity, integrated tannins.
