This is a very solid La Pointe with tight and powerful tannins, backing up the ripe and dark fruit. Big, full and juicy.-James Suckling
Cassis and cherry preserve flavors are flanked by apple wood and anise notes, with a light sanguine hint on the finish. - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator
Composed of 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 La Pointe has a deep garnet-purple color and quite a cedary nose to begin over a core of warm black cherries, blackberry pie and spice cake plus nuances of mossy bark, pencil shavings and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, it has a firm, chewy texture and soft freshness enveloping the muscular, savory layers, finishing a little drying.-Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate
