Rated 95 by Winery
Rated 95 - The 2021 Elevage Red is composed of 55% Merlot, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot, and 3% Malbec. Deep garnet-purple in color, it gallops out with bold notes of blackberry preserves, chocolate-covered cherries, and stewed black plums plus nuances of spice cake, aniseed, and dusty soil. The medium to full-bodied palate provides lovely, bright, crunchy black fruits with firm, grainy tannins and an herbal lift on the finish. - The Wine Independent ... More details

The 2021 Red Blend Elevage is plusher and more forward, yet it shares a similar level of purity and finesse. Black cherries, cassis, spring flowers, chocolate, and a kiss of background minerality all define the aromatics, and this beauty hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, ripe, velvety tannins, and a great finish. It's another sensational wine from this winemaker.

Blackcurrants, dark cherries, dried hibiscus, chocolate and spices. Sleek and mellow with a firm backbone of tannins and medium to full body. Velvety finish. A blend of 55% merlot, 29% cabernet sauvignon, 13% petit verdot and 3% malbec. Better after 2025.

Rated 92 by Wine Advocate
A blend of 55% Merlot, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec, the 2021 Elevage is slightly pungent, peppery and earthy, backed by notes of cassis, black cherries and dried spices. Medium to full-bodied, it's nicely textured and velvety in feel, with a long, slightly open-knit finish.

Rated 92 by Vinous Media
The 2021 Elevage, a Merlot-based blend, is supple and racy, with soft contours that wrap around a core of black cherry plum, incense, licorice and dried herbs. This juicy red blend is quite approachable.

Region: California

California has long been the New World's most important and prodigious wine producing regions, with a history which stretches back to the 18th century and the Spanish pioneers who settled here. Today, California produces vast quantities of wine, and if it were a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine on earth. Despite experiencing many problems in the mid 20th century, including a very serious blight which almost crippled the state's wine industry, the ideal terroir and excellent climate ensured that Californian wines soon became the envy of the New World once again. California produces a vast range of wines, and utilizes a long list of fine grape varietals, with many wineries and their produce more closely resembling those of France and other Old World countries in regards to character, practices and flavors
fields

Country: United States

The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.

Appellation: Napa Valley

When it comes to New World wines, and especially wines from the United States of America, Napa Valley is something of a standard bearer. Over its relatively short history, it has managed to transform itself from being a fairly insignificant region, to becoming one of the most important and highly regarding wine locations on earth. With an ideal climate for viticulture, blazing sunshine and a low level of rainfall, this valley is shielded on many sides by mountain ranges which help it maintain a consistent level of heat, light and moisture throughout the year. Today, Napa Valley is a home of innovation and quality, with dozens of grape varietals thriving in the fertile soils. However, the main varietals grown there have always been Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Zinfandel, and the wines they produce are constantly lauded by critics and competitions across the globe.
