THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Black with red currants and cherries, accented by flowers, licorice, truffle, and ocean breezes, forms the aromatic profile. The palate quickly focuses on its dark pit fruit profile, complemented by a salty, minty freshness. There is energy and lift that balances the fruit in the lingering, fresh finish. The wine blends 80% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc, 13% ABV. The harvest took place September 23 - October 5. 2029-2047."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "With a gentle oaky, spicy profile, the 2024 La Mondotte reveals aromas of dark berries, pepper and licorice mingled with mulberry notes. Medium-bodied, chewy and structured, it's layered with elegant tannins and a lively mid-palate that segues into an oaky, firm finish."
