An impeccably balanced Sonoma Cabernet featuring rich cassis, dark chocolate accents, and supple, powdery tannins.
90% of the wine is aged 18 months in French oak barrels (55% new), and 10% is aged in concrete
We fell in love with the 2014 version of this wine years ago, pleased again as we revisited their 2016 version, but this 2021 is king. What an incredible Cabernet. Luscious ripe blue and purple fruits, cocoa, hints of tobacco, and baking spices are so well orchestrated here. No way you put the cork back in this bottle!
Sweet tobacco leaf, white truffles, elegant plums, berries, bark and a touch of dry earth and cinnamon. Lots of finesse here. Really layered and long, with firm but polished tannins. Nothing loud, but super refined. Persistent finish that lasts almost a minute. A great effort from 2020. Merlot, petit verdot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc.
A blend of 76% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec, the 2020 Las Notas de Jean Claude is crafted by Jean Claude Berrouet and hails from San Pablo in the Uco Valley. Aged for 11 months in French oak barrels, 14% of which are new, it features ripe black fruit with wild herb notes, soft marmalade, hints of spice, blonde tobacco, black pepper and subtle laurel.
