Score 95/100 · Drink 2026-2040, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Oct 2024

One of the top Merlot-based wines coming out of California, Amuse Bouche's 2022 Red Wine is 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc sourced from eastern Rutherford and made by Heidi Barrett. There's a subtle hint of vanilla on the nose, serving to elevate and enhance the ripe cherry fruit and notes of baking spices, while the palate is full-bodied and plushly textured, turning velvety on the lingering finish.

Score 94/100 · James Suckling, Aug 2024

Muscular, agile, balanced and deep, with red currants, black cherries, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. So elegant, full-bodied but silky, with tannins that build on the palate and grip lightly in the finish. 91% merlot and 9% cabernet franc. Drinkable now, but best after 2029.
