Region: Bordeaux 

Variety: Merlot || Cabernet Franc

What's in the glass: The 2016 Côte Pavie has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and offers up pure, expressive black cherries, wild blueberries and kirsch scents with touches of menthol, cloves, cedar chest and lilacs. Full-bodied and packed with vibrant, energetic black fruits, it has a firm line of ripe, velvety tannins and bold freshness, finishing very long. 93 pts, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, WA.
