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

Whilst there are several strains of native grape varietals in the United States, it was the introduction of the European species which prompted the country to begin producing wines on a large scale. Over the past few centuries, experimentation and cross-breeding has produced great successes in regards to the quality and suitability of the fruit grown in states such as California, Oregon, Washington and New York, and the past few decades have seen New World wines from the United States reach much higher standards. Arguably the finest United States wines have always come out of California, where the climate and terrroir is most suitable for fine wine production. The masterful blending of classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, amongst others including Syrah and Chardonnay, have had world beating results in recent years, prompting many to suggest that there has never been a better time for buying and drinking United States wines.

Appellation: Napa Valley

California has long been recognized as a wonderfully rich and fertile location for viticulture, and hundreds of years now, vintners in the United States of America have used the valleys and mountain sides of California for gradually building their own wine culture, based on techniques and practices brought over from the old countries. When it comes to Californian wines of real quality and distinction, however, there is nowhere quite like the Napa Valley, which is now widely considered to be one of the world's premier wine regions, and very much the standard bearer for modern, American wines. With Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Zinfandel varietal grapes all growing well in Napa Valley, the region produces an impressive range of wines, which have had an enormous impact on the Old and New Worlds, and have changed viticulture forever.
