Features a core of focused cassis and damson plum flavors, along with light lilac, iron and bramble notes. Shows juicy energy on the finish, with the iron hint lingering longest. Accessible already. Drink now through 2029. 21,650 cases made. — JM

Freshness and brightness with just a hint of herb to the currant and floral undertones. Medium body, fine tannins and a flavorful finish.

The 2016 Sarget de Gruaud Larose is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon and 31% Merlot with smaller parts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, bottled in May 2018. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it offers up expressive redcurrants and blackberry compote notes with hints of cassis, unsmoked cigars, dried herbs and rose hip tea. Medium-bodied, soft, very fresh and with exhilarating vibrancy, it has loads of mineral sparks on the finish.
