Keermont Merlot 2020
Clos Cantenac Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2020
"The 2020 Clos Cantenac is made from 100% Merlot. It has 14.5% alcohol and is aging in barriques, 40% new, for 12 months. Deep garnet-purple colored, it opens with compelling notes of plum preserves, boysenberries and blueberry compote, plus wafts of underbrush, red rosesand Sichuan pepper. The medium to full-bodied palate is laden with juicy black fruits, supported by soft tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with a peppery lift. 8,000 bottles made." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate
Clos Cantenac Saint Emilion 2016
"The 2016 Clos Cantenac is a 100% Merlot picked from 21 September to 7 October, aged in 45% new oak barrels for 12 months. It has a concentrated bouquet with blackberry and cassis notes, just a hint of raisin, the oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with black cherries, blueberry and loganberry. I appreciated the tannin structure here and the acidic drive that reins in the finish and keeps it on track. This should be well worth investigating once in bottle." - Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate
Clos Cantenac L’Exuberance Rosé 2021
Clos Cantenac L’exuberance Rosé 2021 ,"An old-vine Sémillon bottling interpreted through the lens of the Hunter Valley, the 2021 L'Exuberance Blanc is a medium-bodied, taut and chiseled wine evocative of waxy lemon, white flowers and crisp pear. Given the variety and this intriguing cuvée's taut, linear style, I suspect it will reward bottle age. It's bottled under glass rather than cork." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
Clos Cantenac Saint Emilion 2014
The 2014 was produced from 100% Merlot that was hand-harvested block by block and matured in French oak barrels for 20 months (40% was new, 60% was 2nd use). This is a deep, rich and expressive wine, with lovely notes ripe red berries, mocha, truffle, spices and graphite. It is an excellent option for earlier drinking but has the credentials to keep a few more years.
Château L’Innocence de Séraphine Pomerol 2020
"This wine is made from 100% Merlot and is being aged in French oak barrels, 40% new, for 12-14 months, with a portion fermented and aging in a 1,000-liter clay amphora. The alcohol came in at 14%. Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Séraphine sashays out of the glass with gorgeous notes of candied violets, dark chocolate-covered cherries and raspberry preserves over a core of juicy black plums and fertile loam, plus a waft of truffles. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with earth-laced muscular black fruits, supported by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral-tinged. 3,200 bottles produced." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate

Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating black and blue fruit preserves with a fantastic line of freshness and beautifully ripe, plush tannins, finishing with loads of mineral and spicy sparks." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate
