A strong, violet-purple color in appearance. Aromas of black fruits, blackcurrants and blackberries with delicate secondary notes of licorice, cashew, and spices. On the palate, it opens with velvety, tender, and very fine tannins. It has generous structure and persistent flavors, with an exceptionally long and intense finish.
Blend: 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc
James Suckling: 96 Points
A firm, very structured wine from here, with intense tannins that are very polished and long. Pure fruit. One of the best in a long time.
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
Deep purple-black in color, the 2020 Saint-Pierre bursts with baked blackberries, stewed plums and cassis, followed by hints of dried mint, chocolate box and tapenade with a waft of pencil lead. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled with impressive freshness and ripe, fine-grained tannins supporting the energetic black fruits, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note. The blend is 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, aging for around 14 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. The alcohol is 13.3%.
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
This wine is dark, with black plum and licorice flavors that suggest some heavy extraction during fermentation. As the fruit with its spicy and juicy character pulls forward, the wine will reveal a sense of concentration and power.
