    98/100
    Jane Anson,
    Inside Bordeaux
    This stands out for its welcoming, nuanced and earthy aromatics, with sapidity and grace to the blueberry, raspberry and redcurrant fruits. A deeper ink and cold ash edge comes in through the mid palate, and the texture shows a chalky, angular edge to the tannins. Nothing too much, this is restrained and juicy, reflecting its location in a cooler climate part of the valley, and its Cabernet Franc dominance. Great quality, one to look out for. First vintage going through the Bordeaux system, with 3,000 bottles allocated for the Place. Ageing in 50% new French oak barrels, harvest September 30 to October 7. Owners, viticulturalists and winemakers Annie Favia and Andy Erickson. Tasted twice.

    From a north-facing site at elevation, the 2019 Cerro Sur is a bold, savory wine loaded with energy. This Cabernet Franc-based wine is bursting with tension. Floral, spice and mocha accents lend striking aromatic top notes. I am so impressed with the wine's elegance and total sense of finesse. This is an especially savory wine with strong cool-climate aromas and flavors that are so captivating.
