"A little more fruit forward and open than La Muse, this has raspberry and red cherry fruit, excellent lift with burnt orange peel character, a ton of personality and cheerfully supple spiced tannins, great stuff. Pierre Seillan director and winemaker, Jackson Family Wines owners" (07/2025)

"Cocoa powder on the nose, Chinese five spice - aromatic spices for sure - with dark berry fruit and some menthol notes too. Finely grained and streamlined, this has a poised core, direct and svelte, not so much richness or concentration with the Cabernets more delineated and straight but still with layers and depth. I this this has lots of personality and great ripeness without being overpowering. If I had the money I'd buy a case and share the bottles with lots of friends during fun dinner parties. Great stuff with so much energy, I love it. 6% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Owner Jackson Family Wines with director and winemaker Pierre Seillan of Château Lassègue in St-Emilion."

"Full intensity plum colour, reserved power on the aromatics, excellent quality, understated, slow-build construction, slate textured-tannins, campfire, turmeric, grilled plum, damson, lift on the finish. Pierre Seillan director and winemaker, Jackson Family Wines owners" (07/2025)
Decanter: 96 Punkte "Black pepper spice, milk chocolate and ripe blackcurrants. Less ripe and heavy on the palate than the nose suggests, more streamlined with detail to the tannins and purity to the fruit. Built heavily on the concentration but it’s not missing any freshness or brightness. I love the mouthwatering succulence on the finish. A big Merlot but with tons of personality, I think this wine will find a lot of fans! Still quite toasted but that will settle. Great cooling mint on the finish.

"Medium to full intensity, with the signature curl of violets and peonies of this wine, slate tannins, rise and lift and grip, fragrant gunsmoke, woodsmoke, crushed red roses on the finish. Pierre Seillan director and winemaker, Jackson Family Wines owners" (07/2025)

"Floral and milk chocolate notes on the nose, blackcurrants and damsons with red cherries too. Fleshy and ripe, I love the tannins on this wine, chewy but with a ripe skin texture - not dry but softly chalky that really extends to a long finish. This is the most delicate, if we can say, of all the three wines with a gentle juiciness and lots of concentration. I like it alot, maybe less forward and upfront than the other two but nonetheless interesting and enjoyable. 5% Malbec completes the blend. Owner Jackson Family Wines with director and winemaker Pierre Seillan of Château Lassègue in St-Emilion." - Georgina Hindle (07/2025)
