This 2019 Buzet has a very intense nose with notes of black fruit accented by subtle hints of spice, toast, and oak. The attack on the palate is very powerful, with remarkably well-integrated, refined, and elegant tannins that lend the wine great body. With its long, lingering finish, this wine is the perfect accompaniment to a fine cut of game!

About the estate:
The cooperative, which controls most of the Buzet appellation—approximately 1,950 hectares as of today, planted with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon, Sémillon, etc.—had built a solid reputation in the 1990s. After a few more challenging vintages, quality had dipped, before returning to a high standard once again. This winery’s lineup is worth noting; the wines are monitored on a plot-by-plot basis and exhibit distinct identities, without resorting to showiness.
