95

A very fine and polished 2020 with tar, blackberry, stone and wet earth aromas and flavors. Full and reserved with beautiful tannins and a long, long finish. Classy. Extremely well done. From biodynamically grown grapes. Demeter certification. Try in 2027.

92 Wine Enthusiast

This wine is dense, with serious initial tannins that mask the black fruits. The structure is in place and behind the black currant fruits. Together they promise a wine with plenty of aging potential. Organic.

91 Decanter

This has attractive juice and touches of austere sappy tannins, feels bristling and well handled, with blood orange notes on the attack. Concentrated fruits as it builds up power, this doesn't quite have the seductive glamour that you often find in Pessac-Léognan but is structured and enjoyable. Organic certified. A yield of 18hl/ha. 16 month ageing in 300L barrels and 3,000L wooden tun. Demeter certified. 6% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec complete the blend.

91 Wine Spectator

Shows nice breadth, with warm earth and paving stone notes supporting a core of gently mulled red and black currant fruit. Delivers a dusting of tobacco and cedar on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Drink now through 2032. 5,000 cases made, 200 cases imported.

Product Description:

If you have not jumped into the incredible wines from Bordeaux yet .. now is the time. So many of you continue to drink Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from California but haven't made the connection to Bordeaux yet. 2020 is a great vintage to make this happen as there are a ton of great options for top flight, drinkable, Cabernet Sauvigon and Merlot that can be had for under $25.

Perhaps no example is bigger than this one.
