Flavorful and not too heavy — 9 months ago
Just like the ‘17 bottling, this is a robust, structured red with deep black fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. Started off with light barnyard, the Tannat delivers dense plum and licorice, supported by Cabernet Sauvignon’s cassis and Cabernet Franc’s herbal lift. Firm tannins and vibrant acidity promise another 8-10 years aging potential.
Such a great value!

Dark ruby and intense in color. Nose of cigar box and leather which developed and a matured cherry flavour boosted.
A multidimensional palate with good structure of tanins, long finish.
Remarkable. — 9 months ago
Brilliaint balance, 2001 vintage — 5 months ago
Terrific red wine from the La Clarine Estate vineyard, reminds me a little of Domaine de Trevallon (Cab and Syrah, though here other grapes as well), big and rich still, showing just a tad of mature notes, long, persistent finish, hides its 14.5% ABV well, kudos to Hank!! — 8 months ago

this is our recent go-to for steak night — it’s a healthy balance of earthy and fruity and is complicated but in a way that works well as a table wine. win-win! — 2 days ago
