95 International Wine Report

"This year’s 2021 Lawrence Estate Cabernet Sauvignon from Gard combines 85% Cabernet and 15% Cabernet Franc and was aged for 18 months in 40% new French oak. Pouring a glimmering dark neon purple core with a light purple rim, it moves to aromas of dusty boysenberries, dried earth, black licorice, cedary herbs, backed black plums, and a touch of iodine on the nose. Its gorgeous structure and grippy tannins are balanced out by its lush spine of acidity and blackberry finish. Better in 2025. 1774 cases made."
