WA93-95: The 2023 Berliquet is the first vintage produced in the estate's new winery, equipped with double the number of vats, permitting proper separation of blocks. That's especially important, as Berliquet is a more diverse terroir than Canon, and it can now be interpreted with much more precision. Offering up aromas of cherries, black raspberries, licorice and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and layered, with a fleshy core of concentrated fruit, refined, chalky tannins and lively acids.

Fresh, crunchy red cherries, red berries, chalk and hibiscus on the nose. Medium-bodied on the palate, with fresh, bright acidity, fine tannins and a very succulent finish. Lovely brightness and acidity here gives lots of energy and drinkability. More about freshness and finesse here. 59% merlot and 41% cabernet franc. Lovely now, but can hold.
