  Delicious, opened up after about 45 minutes without decanting. I don’t think it needed any more time in the bottle. Just a solid wine with perfect tannins and a nice herbaceous spice to the finish. I wish I had more of this one in my cellar. Gotta love what those gravelly clay soils produce in that region.

  Agree with WHOOSKEYWINE's note from November 2020. The wine isn't complex but it does have a great combination of medium + body/tannin, acid, dryness and fruit to balance. The alcohol is a little higher than it needs to be. It may get better with more time.

  Medium ruby hue. Aromas and flavors of black cherry, earthy, licorice, oak, pepper, and plum. Medium-plus body; grainy, medium-plus tannins; and medium acidity. Fresh, lively bouquet; smooth, rounded texture; and long, tannic finish. Blend of Merlot (70%), Cabernet Sauvignon (20%), and Cabernet Franc (10%).

  This is a solid, average vintage of this cuvee. Drank side bu side with the 2012 and very little difference. The 2015 has higher alcohol, is a little tighter as expected, but has deeper fruit.
