critic reviews
Deep garnet-purple colored. Gives up notes of under-ripe strawberries and raspberry leaves with hints of Provence herbs and wet slate. The light to medium-bodied palate is firm and rugged with a lively line and herbal finish.
The 2024 Meyney has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, wild strawberry and light cassis notes, but I just seek a little more delineation and nuance. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and saline with sappy black fruit, finely knit tannins and a cohesive finish. I like the length of this Meyney and, given its reasonable price, it should be worth seeking out once released.
Leafy character on the opening, but it settles into itself and the mid palate fills out with cocoa bean and fleshy cherry pit, fresh acidities, uplift on the finish.
The 2024 Meyney reveals a brooding, dark bouquet of dark berries, spices and oak. Medium-bodied, firm and compact, it's built around brittle tannins, concluding with a cigar-inflected finish.
