Score 94/100 · Drink 2023-2028, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Dec 2022

The 2020 Seventeen Forty Reserve, made from free-run juice, is a blend of 85% Cabernet Franc and 15% Merlot matured for 20 months in 70% new French oak. It takes time to unfold to scents of blackcurrants, truffle, thyme, charcuterie and flint. The medium-bodied palate is supple and rounded with restrained, earthy fruits and a long finish. Enjoy this easy-to-drink blend over the next 3-5 years.

Blue fruits, sweet earth, flowers, and chocolaty nuances all emerge from the 2020 1740 Reserve, another beautifully fruited, balanced, elegant yet textured, rich wine from this estate that has beautiful length and class.
