Tasting Notes

Vinous 90

The 2018 Ripeau has a ripe, flamboyant bouquet of macerated black cherries and cassis aromas, maybe just a little monotone compared to others. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, a little oaky at the moment, although that should be absorbed with time. Good density on the finish, which fans out reassuringly. I suspect this will drink well in several years. [Neal Martin, 08/03/2021]

Anticipated maturity: 2023-2033

Robert Parker 90

Composed of 67% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Ripeau was aged for 16 to 18 months in 100% new oak barrels, and the wine has 14.2% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, it offers up open-knit, ready-for-business scents of baked black plums, stewed black cherries and mulberries with hints of wild mushrooms, tree bark and tobacco leaf. The medium-bodied palate has impressive freshness and a soft texture supporting the juicy black fruits, finishing earthy. This vineyard has a little over eight hectares in production, and the average age of the vines in 2018 was 35 to 40 years old. The soil is composed of sandy, slightly gravelly soils atop a ferrous clay subsoil. [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 08/04/2021]

Anticipated maturity: 2021-2033
