Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits, pleasant spice and earthy notes. Clos L'Eglise has a wine-producing tradition spread over several centuries. A blend of 80% Merlot & 20% Cab Franc, 100% new oak, on the palate flavors of ripe Cherry & Strawberry, with notes of vanilla, licorice, cacao & cedar, lively acidity with great mouthfeel. Fine tannins, still have some power that open nicely, long finish ending with toasty cedar, tobacco and earthy spice, just starting to drink well, should continue to age nicely! Wow!

On the nose; dark currants, blackberries, dark cherries, plum, expresso, baking spices and red floral with violets. The body is medium with M+ tannins. Fresh; blackberries, black plums & dark cherries. Menthol, dry crushed rocks, powdery grainy minerals and round, fresh fruit driven finish. This wine & score will improve with 5-10+ years of bottle age.

Subtle Merlot/Cab that drinks like a Pinot.

Big Bordeaux nose leads to a raspberry and boysenberry with a well defined tannic structure. Nice acidity will lead to years of cellaring. While it’s still an infant, this was beyond enjoyable.
