Wine Spectator
"This wine offers an unctuous sensation, with blueberry and blackberry notes, a licorice bite, all slipping discreetly to a medium-bodied finish. A seductive wine." (Wine Spectator 2013 - James Molesworth / second label La Violette du Manoir) A touch of Cabernet Franc to give character to this near-100% Merlot. This red has lovely black fruit and roundness. Enjoy it now.
