Wine reviews

May 2025

A superb, silky and satiny expression. Bursts from the glass with rich red fruit tones intertwined with black and blue fruit nuances. Suave tannins lay a solid foundation, supporting the dark berry fruits, exotic spices and saline-mineral tension, while mocha notes and zesty blood orange peel bring further complexity. A true heartbreaker of a wine, its seamless polish and satiny texture defy the challenges of the late-season heat. Sourced from A, B and D Blocks of the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, this underwent fermentation in a mix of stainless steel tanks and barrels before ageing for 22 months in 100% new French oak.
