La Gargone 2013
Tasting Highlights
60% Merlot, 20% Malbec, 18% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon.
"Ruby red with light purple reflections. Notes of liquorice and linden flowers. Aeration I find red berries. Juicy, refreshing appetizer. The tannic structure is revealed fairly quickly and presents a surprisingly fine grain. The tannins are silky and in synthesis with a slightly crunchy acidity. A wine which will certainly gain even more fruity intensity at the end of the palate but which is basically already accessible. A great success in an extremely difficult vintage. Respect." - Yves Beck
Les Portes de l’Am 2016
Tasting Highlights
“When you take 50% Merlot, 25% Malbec and 25% Cabernet Franc from vines that are almost 40 years of age, with low yields of only 14 hectoliters per hectare, it's easy to understand how you get such a dark, inky color. Licorice and black cherry liqueur are all over the place. Dense rich, lushly textured and forward, this is packed with freshness and flavor.” Jeff Leve
