A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Cabernet Franc, this is a tremendous wine, offering grippy red-currant, tobacco and graphite components around a full-bodied core of weight and breadth. Powerful, with elegant leanings, it retains and celebrates much of the Cab Franc character in its unabashed embrace of dried herb, clove and violet. (VB)

The 2015 'LMV Salon' is an absolutely fabulous blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Cabernet Franc. It opens to seductive aromas of blackberries, red currants, roasted coffee, tobacco, dried herbs and loam all soaring from the glass. Impeccably structured and balanced this continues to impress with its outstanding precision, lovely underlying acidity and incredible minerality. Beautifully focused and classy, this is a total gem, which should continue to evolve for many years to come. (JD)

A dense and layered red with red tile, currants and hints of black peppers. Full-bodied and juicy with beautiful density and length. Granular tannins.

A blend of 60/40 Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, the 2015 LMV Salon is a cuvee that’s moving towards being a Cabernet Franc-dominated release as the estate plants more Cabernet Franc. Cassis, spring flowers, chocolate and a rocky, river bottom-like earthiness all flow to a full-bodied, concentrated, tannic 2015 that has exceptional purity and a great finish. (JD) 94+
