May 26, 2022 - Les Perrieres replaces the wine formerly known Acte from the Guinaudeau family. A bright, fresh, stony, pure red berry-focused medium-bodied wine with notes of herbs, underbrush, spice, tobacco leaf, and kirsch. The zesty finish shows a nice salty touch to the sweet fruit. This little wine can age quite well.

November 22, 2021 - Just opened ... The sweetness and freshness hit you nearly as much as the heat towards the beginning of the finish. Lots of jammy flavors here, kirsch and black cherry... Waiting for it to air in the decant for a couple of hours... Off to a great start, a tad short and thin on the finish, but by no means is this not lack body!
Came back hour 3o minutes later, she didn't budge much - heat wore off, so perhaps a few years may show an opening here. I suppose it's a bit tight, but still enjoyable to sample here. Lay the rest away till 2028 and see how things develop.2 people found this helpful Comment -

April 30, 2021 - 3 days in Napa: Arkenstone, Memento Mori, Maxem, The French Laundry, Christopher Tynan, Kinsman, Harlan, Vice Versa, Accendo, Fairchild, Macdonald, and a truckload of others (Napa): Painfully young, with acid, booze, and crunchy black cherry making for a formidable profile that didn’t seem to want to play with the rest of the wines of food one bit that night. Hold… like, for a decade.

May 24, 2019 - With a nice level of density, the wine has a good concentration of flavor, round tannins, sweetness in the fruit, vitality, and complexity in the finish. Perriéres de Lafleur has replaced the Acte series from the Guinaudeau family. 92-94 Pts
