Tasting Notes

Super aromas of this group with dark currants and sweet tobacco. Some vanilla bean. Full body, chewy and tannic. Serious back bone and structure. Better in 2015.

Score: 92

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Maturity: 2015+ 14 July 2014

A stunning sleeper of the vintage, this blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit Verdot from the Onclin family is a homerun. It got a big 'Wow' from me, given its blueberry and blackberry fruit, hints of camphor and charcoal, superb texture, full-bodied mouth-feel and stunningly long finish. A major over-achiever in 2010, this wine should drink well for 15 or more years.

Creamy-textured, but not lush, as a charcoal thread keeps the enticing plum sauce, blackberry coulis and steeped currant notes from being too flattering. A singed cedar note holds the finish together, while an alluring smoky edge lingers. Drink now through 2022. 3,000 cases made.

James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2013-2022 01 January 2013

The nose is a little muted at first, but it unwinds nicely with blackberry, blueberry and mulberry aromas that are well delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with a lot of coconut-tinged oak on the entry, but there is plenty of black fruit to mop it up with time. Smooth and very modern in style. Drink now-2018.
