Tasting Notes
Cocoa powder and red fruit (Merlot).
Palate Fine-grained tannin texture and length of finish from the Cabernet Franc, with a slight earthy, loamy quality on the finish — the most Saint-Émilion-style wine in the lineup.

Critic Reviews
“Currants, spicy wood, leather, and dried herbs all emerge from the 2024 The Tempo, along with some classic Paso loamy earth and chalky minerality. It's a 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Merlot blend aged 20 months in 42% new French oak barriques, and it brings some more classic Franc character on the palate, with medium to full-bodied richness, good freshness, fine tannins, and plenty of length on the finish. It's well done and a serious wine. Drink bottles over the coming 10-15 years, if not more, although there's no need to delay gratification. Drink 2026-2041.”
