Tasting notes
Coming from vines throughout the valley, the 2017 Red Blend Silencieux offers lots of ripe black fruits, scorched earth, tobacco, and cedary notes as well as a medium to full-bodied, firm, focused style on the palate. There's plenty of sweet here, but those 2017 tannins are certainly there as well, and I'd love more mid-palate depth. Give bottles 2-3 years, and then I suspect it's best drunk over the following decade. 1,690 cases.

Blended with 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Silencieux is deep garnet-purple in color with crème de cassis, prunes, fruitcake and bay leaves scents with a note of tobacco. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm and chewy with an herbal streak and bitter finish.
