Made to the same rigorous standards as the First Wine, from grapes grown in the same vineyard, La Dame de Montrose is the estates second label. Supple and silky Merlot generally predominates in the varietal mix. Its very pronounced red fruit aromas and flavors reflect another expression of the terroir in a distinctive style which is less elaborately complex than that of the First Wine.

Blackcurrants with crushed stone and slate. Lead pencil. Medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins and precision. Fantastic length and focus. One of the best Dames I have had. Organically grown grapes.

Blend: 48% merlot, 46% cabernet sauvignon, 3% petit Verdot and cabernet franc.
