"A stunning sleeper of the vintage, this blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon was made by winemaking guru/consultant Stephane Derenoncourt. The wine’s 14.5% alcohol tells you something about its amazing richness and intensity. Aromas of smoke, lead pencil shavings, sweet kirsch and black currants soar from the glass of this medium to full-bodied, opulent, fleshy wine. Some tannin lurks beneath the surface, but the overall impression is one of opulence and extravagance. Drink this beauty over the next decade or more." -Robert Parker

"A tasty, opulent 2005 from proprietress Helene Garcin, this sexy wine exhibits a dense ruby/purple color followed by a sweet bouquet of licorice, black cherries, blackberries, oak, and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, opulent, fleshy, and disarming, it will drink well in 2-3 years, and should age for 12-15." -Robert Parker

"Sweet red and black currant fruit, spice box and herb aromas jump from the glass of this dark plum/garnet-hued 2008. As in most vintages, this is an equal part blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Soft and complex, it should be consumed over the next 5-6 years." -Robert Parker

"Its deep ruby/purple color, notes of sweet black currants, incense, camphor, and spice box, and medium to full-bodied style are accompanied by a wine with excellent fruit intensity, purity, and length. It should drink well for 10-15 years. Good value." -Robert Parker

"The nose opens with rich sweet fruit of blackberries, raspberries, and a hint of dark cherry. At first taste you are struck by the rich creamy texture that is accompanied by lush fruit accents. It finishes with an intriguing array of exotic spices. Smooth and elegant, this wine displays an amazing sense of balance from beginning to end."

"Our signature blend, once again delivers with generous ripe fruit flavors – notes of fresh plum, red cherry, and blackberry. Barrel time in French oak offers hints of vanilla, and savory roasted thyme. Well-integrated and balanced, the 2010 vintage offers a polished, lifted finish."

"The wine possesses good balance and depth in its dark red fruit, flowers, mint and spices. This attractive, tasty wine is best enjoyed over the next few years."

"Living up to its name, this easy-drinking, fruit-forward blend, has become a breakout favorite in the Baer blend lineup. Supple and silky, with a fresh acidity. Pretty red currant and cranberry are joined by roasted coffee and cocoa powder."
