Chateau Lucia 2024

James Suckling: "Meaty fruit with peppery spices. Tight and fine-grained, this has medium to full body and a juicy finish. Good length to close."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Bursts with notes of wild blueberries and black raspberries, plus suggestions of cinnamon stick, lilacs, and fertile loam. The light to medium-bodied palate is soft and expressive with a perfumed finish."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Round, supple, forward, and fruity, there is a lot of chocolate filled charm here along with nuances of licorice, espresso, and red plums on the palate, as well as in the finish. The wine is made from 90% Merlot, with 10% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2027-2038."
