RATINGS

94Jeb Dunnuck

...lots of ripe cherry and blackberry fruit, subtle floral and crushed rock, medium to full body, and a beautifully seamless, silky, layered style. As always, it shines for its incredible purity and elegance.

93Wine Spectator

Ripe, focused and pure, with a lovely caressing mouthfeel to the mix of cassis, plum and black cherry puree flavors that cruise through. Light tobacco and iron notes chime in the background as the finish is sneaky long in this refined and balanced wine.

93Wine Enthusiast

It is elegant, developing well in its balance of tannins and maturing fruits. The dry core is destined to soften into a smooth final texture.

92The Wine Advocate

...aromas of spices, graphite, plum, dark berries and a touch of licorice. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, this wine is perfectly balanced with powdery tannins, tension, supple texture and a long, lingering finish.

91.7CellarTracker

88-91Vinous / IWC

Dark cherry, chocolate and spice are pushed forward, and an aromatic lift from the Cabernet Franc appears on the midpalate and finish.

16.5Jancis Robinson

Bright and zesty with fragrant, berry-fruit notes on the nose, the palate fresh and invigorating. Juicy fruit and finely honed tannins. Good length and persistence.

REGION

France, Bordeaux, Cotes de Castillon

Bordeaux is the world’s most famous fine-wine producing region. Even non-wine drinkers recognize the names of Bordeaux’s celebrated wines, such as Margaux and Lafite-Rothschild. Located near the Atlantic coast in southwest France, the region takes its name from the seaport city of Bordeaux, a wine trading center with an outstanding site on the Garonne River and easy access to the Atlantic. Like most French wine regions, Bordeaux’s first vineyards were planted by the Romans more than 2,000 years ago, then tended by medieval monks. Aristocrats and nobility later owned the region’s best estates and today estates are owned by everyone from non-French business conglomerates to families who have been proprietors for generations. Bordeaux has nearly 280,000 acres of vineyards, 57 appellations and 10,000 wine-producing châteaux. Bordeaux is bifurcated by the Gironde Estuary into so-called “right bank” and “left bank” appellations. Bordeaux’s red wines are blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. It also makes white wines of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. There are several classification systems in Bordeaux. All are attempts to rank the estates based on the historic quality of the wines.
