Jeb Dunnuck
Review Date: 08/2023Coming all from the G2 and James Berry Vineyards and based on 46% Syrah, 29% Graciano, 15% Mataro, and the rest Grenache, the 2020 Claude's Cuvée offers a darker, meaty, iron-laced profile as well as impressive darker berry fruits, some classic Syrah pepper and violet notes, full-bodied richness, firmer tannins, and a great finish. Aged 22 months in 70% new French oak, it should benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and evolve for 15 years. (Drink between 2025-2040) (94+)

Dark and brooding in the glass, the 2020 Claude's Cuvée emanates up with an earthy blend of crushed plums, pencil lead, blackberries and sweet sage. This is sleek and racy in style with juicy acidity that propels its ripe red and black fruits. Savory herbal tones swirl, and edgy tannins slowly collect toward the close. It leaves a staining of concentration, finishing lightly structured and with a bitter balsamic twang that lingers on. The Claude's Cuvée, a blend of 46% Syrah, 29% Graciano, 15% Mataro and 10% Grenache, is full of potential. (EG)
