RATINGS

92-94The Wine Advocate

(Neal Martin's WIne Journal) ...easily the best Cantenac Brown that I have tasted. A plummy, meaty, earthy nose wafts up from the glass... soft red berried fruit mixed with tobacco and a touch of leather... Would make an astute purchase.

92Wine Spectator

Fascinating aromas of chocolate, meat and ripe berry follow through to a full-bodied palate, with velvety tannins and a long, delicious finish. A beauty. Best wine ever from this property.

90Robert M. Parker Jr.

...a sleeper of the vintage. Loaded with chocolatey black currants intermixed with sweet earth, cedar, and spice box, it exhibits medium to full body, surprisingly ripe tannin
