Black cherries, espresso and red plums show nicely in this soft-textured, supple, fresh, red berry filled wine. The finish is a tad oaky, but there is more than enough fruit here to round things out nicely. Give it a year or two of bottle age and it should be even better. Drink from 2022-2032.

Floral and fresh, with leafy, green herbs, rocks and plums, the wine is silky, round, sweet and delivers a serious blast of ripe red fruits and stone in the finish. This will be better if you age it for a few years. The was made from blending 82% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is going to be very hard to find a better wine for the money than you find here in this vintage. 89-91 Pts

Lush, fat, juicy, sweet and forward, there are blackberries, dark raspberries and plums all over the place. The finish is long, low acid and fruity. You can drink this on release or age it for a year or two, letting the oak further integrate.
