12/28/2023 - Gianni D Likes this wine: 88 Points
Forceful blackcurrant and stewed prune nose, with blackcurrant opening but quickly giving way to prune and black cherry on the palate. Good acid/tannin balance at this point; Fruit is a bit muted but lingers pleasantly. Quite full bodied. Would work well with dark chocolate (among other things!).

I think the note from Jeff Leve is accurate, but overall i think this scores lower IMO. An approachable Bordeaux red for those who need an early drinker from this vintage.

Brilliant crimson-ruby color, slightly cloudy. Nose of sweet, fresh pomegranate juice on the nose. Crisp notes of crabapple, pomegranate, aggressive acids. Pleasant but. It really my style.

Blending 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is sweet, fresh, soft, medium bodied and crisp with a Sweetarts finish that offers both sweet red fruits with a hint of crispy, tart accents.
