2021 Domaine de Baronarques

A refined nose of blackberries, dark cherries, dried herbs, earth and black pepper with a touch of cedar, too. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Well-structured with a harmonious core of berries and spices at the center. Well-framed and focused with texture and a long finish. Try after 2025. (08/2023)

Medium garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Domaine de Baronarques Rouge is a blend of 64% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 13% Malbec, 8% Syrah, and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. Evocative notes of black and red cherries, warm redcurrants, and juicy plums waft from the glass, giving way to hints of cardamom and fragrant earth. The medium-bodied palate is plush and soft-spoken, with fragrant black fruits and a spicy lift on the finish. (08/2023)
