critic reviews
Deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of juicy raspberries and wild strawberries jump from the glass, followed by hints of dried herbs, wet slate, and wild fungi. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers red berry flavors with herbal accents and soft tannins, finishing refreshing. 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, 34% Merlot.
The 2024 Peyrabon has a light bouquet with blackberry and light cassis scents that open with time. Pretty. The palate is medium-bodied and fleshy with smooth tannins, quite piquant in style with a red cherry and light raspberry <em>coulis</em> finish.
Vibrant ruby, with leafy and fragrant deep cassis fruits on the nose and attack, consistent and cheerful, a little soft on the finish, hard to build intensity in 2024, but there are fresh acidities here that add juice while avoiding being over the top; Harvest 20 September to October 8. Owned by the Casteja family since 2021, first vintage under the new team 2022, introduced cold soaks and gentle extractions.
