91 points Wine Spectator: "Aromas of raspberry and citrus, with just a hint of sweet tobacco. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and a caressing, layered tannin structure. Very well made. Excellent. Best after 2011." (03/07) 90 points Wine Enthusiast: "This is the second wine of Léoville-las-Cases, big and black, stunningly perfumed with eucalyptus and violets. Herbs and ripe black fruit flavors are given shape by the tannins that go straight through the wine. The aftertaste has great acidity."
93 POINTS!!!
Bright, dark red. Subdued but complex nose offers raspberry, red cherry, rose petal and smoky underbrush; lovely lift and perfume. Sweet and vinous, with excellent energy and cut to the red fruit and floral flavors. Very fine-grained, fresh wine that really transcends the vintage. Finishes with firm but noble tannins and terrific subtle persistence. This was even more brisk with extended aeration, suggesting that it will be better for a bit of patience.
A big, bold, rich and expressive style that packs in lots of flavor, yet manages to be elegant and stylish without being heavy. Deep, perfumed currant, floral, spice and berry flavors coat the palate, ending with ripe, integrated tannins. Drink now through 2014. 1,750 cases made.
Named for the French vine clone, 337 is an alurring expression of a California cabernet sauvignon with prestigious Bordeaux roots.
A vibrant, sweet bouquet of raspberry jam, molasses and cinnamon toast evoke the senses of carefree youthful nights. Excellent oak integration provides silken tannins and spice to pair with Lodi’s unrestricted wild berry fruit.
93+ POINTS, Robert Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate, February 2005
“Possesses aromas of white flowers intermixed with spice box, licorice, black currants, raspberries, cherries, toasty oak, and background scents of volcanic/scorched earth. With lovely richness, medium to full body, impressive purity, and a long, heady finish, it should hit its peak in 3-4 years, and last through 2020+.”
Mid-to-dark, ruby red color. Aromas of blueberry and strawberry, as well as a slight hint of vanilla, black currant, and a nice mix of oak. Smooth low-tannic finish.
Fragrant floral and ripe peach and nectarine flavors are clean and refreshing, ending on a sweet fruity note. Drink now. 20,000 cases made.
90 POINTS!!!
Fragrant floral, green apple and pear flavors are delicate and spicy. Medium- to full-bodied, sleek and focused, with a long, persistent finish that keeps fruit purity at the center. Drink now through 2012. 33,000 cases made.
THE WINE SPECTATOR
Bright cherry and raspberry pervade this complex layered wine. Cinnamon, clove, leather, cigar box, and chocolate serve as delicious counterpoints to the red berry fruit. A serious wine with excellent color and firm yet silky tannins.
