Solid performance from this humble appellation the 2021 Croix Mouton exhibits aromas of sweet berries spices and licorice followed by a mediumbodied fleshy and atypically rich generous palate. It's a blend of Merlot with a mere 2% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Savory olive notes here alongside dark berry fruit, walnuts and licorice. Juicy and fresh with a nicely firm tannin frame, medium body and a more mineral finish. Try in 2024.

Revealing a healthy ruby/purple color as well as fresh, lively notes of black cherry & blackberries, violets and spice, it's medium-bodied, has a balanced, silky texture, good mid-palate depth, & a great finish.
