CRITIC REVIEWS
Julia Harding MW
Full bottle 1,349 g. Cask sample taken 6 April. 70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, certified organic. Fermented in concrete tronconic vats. Aged in 45% new oak. Deepest purple-crimson with purple rim. Surprisingly subtle but deep aroma of pure black fruit with only a gentle hint of the leafiness I expect from the Cab Franc. On the palate, concentrated black fruit, slightly savoury/rocky in that darkness, chewy but not astringent tannins. Lovely freshness on the finish to balance the whole, and a gentle fruit sweetness on the finish. (JH)

A blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Beauregard is deep garnet-purple in color. It prances out with gregarious notes of plum preserves, wild blueberries, and cedar chest, plus hints of powdered cinnamon and iron ore. The full-bodied palate is laden with densely packed black fruit and spicy layers, supported by ripe, rounded tannins, finishing long.
