critic reviews

91/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

A blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, and 16% Petit Verdot, the 2019 Meyney is deep garnet-purple in color. It gives up notes of cedar and pencil lead over a core of crushed blackcurrants, kirsch, and wild blueberries with a touch of Sichuan pepper. The medium-bodied palate is lively and chewy, with just enough fruit and a savory finish.

95/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2019 Meyney has a divine bouquet, so pure and winsome with floral red berry scents, beautifully integrated new oak and superb precision. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy to the point where you can almost overlook the backbone of this Saint-Estèphe. It could have been blowsy, yet it retains superb balance and feels luxuriant and long on the finish. This is a stellar showing easily eclipsing its performances either in barrel or just after bottling. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

91/100William Kelley,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Aromas of sweet cherries and berries mingled with tobacco, loamy soil and petals introduce the 2019 Meyney, a medium to full-bodied, seamless and lively wine with fine depth at the core, powdery tannins and an attractive sense of completeness. This is an understated but charming Saint-Estephe that has turned out nicely in bottle.
