Wine Advocate
Reviewed October 2017A blend of 77% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2015 Elevage reveals a deep garnet-purple color with an earthy/spicy nose along with dried herbs and notions of stewed plums and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, with chewy tannins and soft-spoken fruit, it finishes earthy. (LPB)

Wine Spectator
Sports dark currant paste and grilled savory flavors at the core, with a stony spine and notes of tobacco and iron through the grippy finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. (JM)

The Merlot-dominated 2015 Red Blend Elevage (there's 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and a tiny splash of Petit Verdot) is a more straightforward, enjoyable effort that has pretty notes of spiced red and black fruits and leafy herbs, medium-bodied flavors, good complexity, and moderate density and depth.

Wine Enthusiast
This is a blend of 77% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot from the producer's estate in the heart of the appellation. It is driven by a velvety texture, with plush wrap-around tannins running the show. Oak, sage and cedar define the flavors alongside layers of plum and red currant. (VB)
