Comtesse Marion Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

This baby comes from rolling hills right near the villas of Vias on the Mediterranean coast. All the vines are 25+ years old and the wines are fermented and aged in stainless steel – helping create soft concentrated fruit and tannin with a good amount of natural acidity and a lush, full-bodied mouthfeel. The low-yield vines are an integral part of why this works so perfectly. You get highly concentrated, clean fruit that doesn’t have to be artificially pumped up – it’s still roaring with energy.

This one is an aromatic fireworks show that’s backed by pure blue and black fruits. It’s well-textured, beaming with freshness, and beautifully balanced with a seductive bouquet of blackberry, mocha, and even violets. Red cherry fruit on the attack with hints of sage and crème de cassis that creep up on the finish, bringing everything together in a seamless fashion.
