Tasting notes
Proprietor Jonathan Malthus has produced a 2013 Teyssier displaying an easygoing, fruit-forward personality with fresh, herbaceously-tinged red cherry and slightly blacker cherry fruit. A blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, its medium body and soft tannins suggest it is best consumed over the next 3-4 years.

70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc. Svelte blackcurrant, violet and chocolate character, very plump and plush. Slight bitterness to finish, but not in an underripe way. Quite warm on the finish. (RH)
The 2013 Teyssier is soft, silky and very nicely balanced. Sweet tobacco, new leather, spices and dark fruit meld together in a soft, supple red with plenty of near-term appeal. There is a lot to like in this textured mid-weight red. The Teyssier is an excellent introduction to the Jonathan Maltus's house style. The blend is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc.
