"The 2016 Clos St. Martin is made up of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with bold blackberries, warm plums and red cherries notes plus hints of baking spices, cedar chest, chocolate mint, forest floor and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied and jam-packed with generous black and red fruits, it has a solid frame of grainy tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing long and spicy."

"The 2016 Clos St Martin has a very opulent and powerful bouquet with layers of kirsch, crème de cassis and a tang of seaweed. The palate is sweet and chewy on the entry. There is a lot of new oak here that lends it a smooth sheen, although I find it too domineering towards the finish where I wanted to see more fruit. Hopefully, that will be addressed during the barrel maturation because this could be a great Clos St Martin. Just a little prudence here would not go amiss to contain that powerful Merlot."
