Rated 94
Pleasure-packed, balanced, bright, and fresh. A terrific showing for the excellent 2021 vintage. Leads with vibrant red berry fruits and flowers. With just over two weeks macerating on the skins and 12 months ageing in 40% new French oak, the tannins are pixelated, the acid tension vivid, and the medium to full body is flush with loads of crunchy dark berry fruit. It's a downright delicious red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc. Drinking Window 2023-2033.
