Wine reviews

January 2021

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon RBS displays a more elegant, seamless style, offering full-bodied aromas and flavors of cassis and black raspberries as well tobacco, violets, and Christmas spice. It’s incredibly complex and layered yet lacks a touch of the ”wow” factor found in the other cuvées. Don’t kid yourself, though – this is still a great wine, and I suspect the rating will seem low once this is bottled. – JD

October 2022

Gushes with pure violet, plum and cassis notes, all flecked with hints of black tea, anise and sassafras. Driven, with a graphite underpinning providing a spine that stays in the background as the fruit stretches out. Approachable already but no rush at all. Drink now through 2038. 1,500 cases made. – JM
