This wine is made by the great Michel Roland and is a blend of 81% merlot 19% Cabernet Sauvignon from weinbau vineyard candy mountain Dionysus and Conner lee vineyard all are warm sites and the Cabernet is from tapteil on red mountain. A very big and seductive bouquet of dark plum and crem de cassis like fruit very rich and ripe with toasty oak spice dried flowers and dark coco very complex and long on the finish. Big and chewy very rich and layered with silky smooth velvety texture with layers of dark chocolate and a very long finish.

Very nice - nicely fruity on the nose, medium to full bodied, just a hint of sweetness, excellent acid and a nice long finish. Had at Auberge d'Ill. — 9 years ago
For the price point this is terrific traditional Burgundy. And it only gets better as it opens up. There is some nice mellow oak notes that start coming out. Excellent acid with a lovely blend of minerality and fruit. Not as chalky minerally as say Chablis. A bit fuller body that stands up to bigger dishes — 9 years ago
