Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

95% cabernet sauvignon, 5% cabernet franc, fermentation and maceration for 29 days, pressed to French barrels (35% new) for 8 months, then a 1yo foudre for 14 months. Here the complex vinification has worked well, the wine at the savoury end of the spectrum thanks in part to the lengthy time in oak. The palate is long, the tannins firm but balanced, the oak integrated.

Rated: 95 points
