Community Tasting Note

• #1Winelover Likes this wine: 97 points

  July 10, 2021 - This is now ready to drink! Since other 2018s are finally coming around, I decided to re-visit Mr. Touquette's annual masterpiece. Dark black and red in the glass with a little bit of purple. Blackberry and blueberry, lot's of earth, mineral and graphite from mid-palate through the finish. Nice and full and this is a typical Benoit wine -- it's not over the top, it's full-flavored, it's dialed back slightly, it's a great representation from The Las Piedras Vineyard, and, it's awesome.
  
  97-98 points for now with upside.
