Score 92/100 · Drink 2020-2031, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2018

The 2016 Amuse Bouche is very delicate and polished in this vintage, with lovely aromatics from the Franc adding nuance to a core of Merlot fruit. Crushed rose petal, espresso, plum, sweet red cherry, menthol and mocha meld together in this understated, polished wine from Amuse Bouche.

Score 95/100 · Drink 2020-2042, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Oct 2018

A blend of 86% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc, the medium garnet-purple colored 2016 Proprietary Red Blend Amuse Bouche sings of crushed red and black plums, black cherry compote, Ceylon tea, licorice and Indian spices with a waft of potpourri. The palate is medium to full-bodied, exquisitely elegant with firm yet satiny tannins, refreshing, perfumed, spicy and very long with savory notions coming through.
