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

It isn't difficult to see how California became one of the world's most important, successful and influential wine regions. Since the first vines were planted in the state by Spanish pioneers in the 18th century, the region has made the most of its ideal climatic conditions, which range from hot, dry and arid to windswept and cool, for vineyard cultivation and wine production. Today, California has almost half a million acres under vine, and hundreds of independent and well established wineries dotted across its vast wine-making areas. Californian wines range from the traditional, and those emulating fine Old World wines, to the experimental and unique, and it is the home to many of the world's most exciting and trailblazing wineries producing excellent bottles for the global market.

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

Anybody with an interest in New World wines is surely in agreement with the fact that Napa Valley in California is now, without much doubt, one of the world's premier wine regions. With an ideal climate for viticulture, fertile and mineral rich soils, and a dedication for quality and expression of terroir, Napa Valley wines consistently impress on the world stage with their flavors, aromas and overall character. The wineries of the valley have had plenty of success with a wide range of grape varietals, which flourish in the heat and ripen fully in the Californian sunshine each year, and the innovation and experimentation undertaken by the vintners of the region has helped create a wine culture and reputation in the valley which is unique, yet classic – a perfect blend of the new and the old.
