70% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Petit Verdot. Barrel sample. Dark purple. Refreshing nose with powerful stony aromas. True to location. Lovely harmonious fruit and good freshness. Lots of fine tannin. Could be VGV . (JR)

Very good focus to this with currant and blackberry flavors, medium body and firm, chewy tannins. Flavorful finish.

70% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Petit Verdot. Barrel sample. Inky core with purple rim. Dark and charry like the Greysac. The tannins are just a little too dry here. There’s freshness but just not enough fruit at the core. Hard work. (JH)
