JAMES SUCKLING: "A juicy red full of red plums and spiced cherries. Quite succulent and bright, with a medium body and fine tannins. The wine is not heavily extracted, which helps achieve balance and good quality tannins. A lighter year, but I like the poise and drinkability. 78.5% merlot and 21.5% cabernet franc."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Tobacco wrapper, flowers, cedar, and mint combine with bright, fresh, red berries to produce a vibrant, medium-bodied, elegant, fruity wine that is going to be delicious on release. You can enjoy this with pleasure in its youth, for all its fruits, and freshness. The wine blends 78.5% Merlot, and 21.5% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2027-2034."
