Wine Critic Reviews

The Wine Palate (97): The 2021 Right Bank Blend is composed of 68% Cabernet Franc, 27% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple in color, it slips languidly out of the glass with notes of kirsch, raspberry coulis, and blackberry preserves opening out to nuances of rose oil, cinnamon stick, and pencil shavings. The full-bodied palate is so bright and intense, with firm, fine-grained tannins and wonderful tension, finishing long and perfumed.

The Wine Palate (95): The 2022 Right Bank Blend is 63% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 22% Merlot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps with bold notes of black raspberries, red currant jelly, and kirsch, plus suggestions of mint tea, dusty soil, and pencil lead. The medium to full-bodied palate has a lovely savory character with firm, grainy tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing long and mineral-laced.
