Crisp red raspberry, cherry, and currant on the nose which boldly follow through to the palate. There is a pleasant contradiction between the expressive fruit and the refreshing abruptness of the wine's texture. A suggestion of creaminess finds its way around the mid-palate and may be the product of malolactic conversion in a bit of the cuvee. I actually think that this is a more graceful wine than the estate's overpriced Chateauneufs. Posted by MFinger on May 22nd, 2009 at 1:04pm | report comment
