Tasting Notes
An inviting and unmistakably old-world aromatic — warm tobacco and forest floor. Generous on the palate with round, rich tannins. Notes of dark fruit, quite masculine, bold presence.
Color Deep ruby with violet hue
Palate Evolution on the palate reveals more layered aromatics — hints of violet and strawberry — with a medium-grained tannin that, coupled with acidity, keeps the wine lively and engaging. Rich entry with notes of sous bois; texture and tempo develop later in evolution. A gregarious wine — playful, jocular, still grounded in tradition and pedigree. Certain austerity at finish with larger, more woody tannin structure. Retro-nasal dried herbal notes.
Pairs with
- Tournedos Rossini
- Lamb rack

Critic Reviews
- Cellar Selection
“A pungent bouquet of earth, bramble, forest floor, tobacco, and cedar precedes a sweet attack on the palate, which offers notes of blueberry pie, berry crumble, and baking spices such as cinnamon. Dry on the finish, with good acidity and earthy hints of wet slate, resin, and oak. 65% Cabernet Franc, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Merlot.”
“The first collaboration between the Mittals in Paso Robles and a Grand Cru estate in Bordeaux, this blend of 47% Cabernet Franc, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot indicates that this is a very serious project. Nearly opaque in the glass, the wine offers bold aromas of blackberry jam, iodine, wet earth and oak on the nose. Persistent, sticky tannins are woven through the bold black plum and roasted wood flavors of the palate. Drink now-2038.”
