2019 Paris Valley Road Très Bien

Well-integrated tannins coupled with buoyant acidity provide a remarkable full-bodied mouthfeel—next-level plush. A generous sip calls to mind a bite of a fresh red plum. The wonderful interplay of black currants, blackberries, cranberries, cherries, and figs adds depth and breadth. The curated French oak regimen contributes subtle notes of vanilla, mocha, and mesquite on the lavish finish. The 2019 Paris Valley Road Très Bien has the potential to be a showstopper at the dinner table. It may well garner a heartfelt merci beaucoup from guests after the first pour, followed by an impassioned s'il vous plait for another.

"Lush aromas of blackberry, black cherry and caramel are quite warm and toasty on the nose of this bottling. The palate is hefty with berry and licorice flavors, with hints of chili pepper adding nuance as the finish grows quite confectionary." — Matt Kettmann
