October 11, 2023 - A nicely balanced, and easy to drink red Bordeau blend made from 49% Merlot, 26% Cab, 10% Cab Franc, 8% Petit Verdot, & 7% Malbec grapes. Rich fruits, medium bodied, well integrated tannins, and a solid finish make this Cuvee easy to appreciate and enjoy.

March 3, 2023 - This is a delicious Merlot-driven blend. I was struck by the finesse of the texture and how well balanced the wine is. Plenty of years left in the tank but already very enjoyable now.

January 7, 2023 - Consistent with my previous notes with perhaps a bit more integration. This continues to show well, highlighting fresh black and red fruit, violet florals, peppery and cedary spice, medium-bodied elegance, vivacious acidity, round medium-grained tannins and nice depth. Definite old world palate appeal, but doesn't suffer for ripeness or richness. An awesome value at its price.
