The 2022 Red Blend CMS lifts up from the glass with a peppery blend of dried flowers and blackberries. It's soft-textured with pretty inner floral tones and a balanced core of ripe wild berry fruits elevated by hints of sour citrus. The 2022 leaves a framework of sweet tannins and a primary concentration as a bump of residual acidity keeps the mouth watering for more. This represents tremendous value and a wonderful introduction to the house style. Well done. (Vinous Media, 90 Points)
