Château Croix Cardinale

Cardinale

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

An exquisite wine, understated and with great finesse. Luscious black fruit - cassis, black berry, black cherry, black plum, a touch of mint in the background, balanced with restrained cedar and vanilla. Opulent velvety tannins that never intrude on the fruit. Still a bit tight but there is so much here - it’s a wonderful wine that’s Napa at its heart but has Bordeaux in its soul. — a month ago

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

La Croix Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2017

9.2

Sourced largely from dedicated parcels and younger vines in a frost-challenged year, it opens with red currant, graphite, and cedar, layered with subtle floral and savory notes. The palate is full bodied and precise, with polished tannins, fresh acidity, and restrained oak.

More akin to Clos du Marquis to Leoville Las Cases in spirit than declassified Grand Vin, this is a well priced Cuvée from Ducru.

La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou

Saint Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

Blend of 66% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, floral spice and smoky tobacco notes, aged 12 months in 80% new barrels. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with cacao, tobacco, licorice and cigar spice. Fine chewy tannins, well balanced on long finish, ending with fruit, cedar, tobacco and earthy mineral character. Very nice, will age well but needs time in the bottle to really enjoy! — 2 months ago
