Calvet Prestige Bordeaux Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

90 POINTS & 4.5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2021

"Attractively styled Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon blend, the fragrant bouquet shows blackcurrant, smoky bacon, thyme and tapenade aromas, leading to a flavoursome palate that's supple and succulent. It's firmly structured by chalky tannins, finishing sturdy and lingering. A lovely modern rendition offering terrific value. At its best: now to 2030"

Lovely brilliant ruby colour with hints of red brick. Fruity bouquet with vanilla notes. Fleshy, well-balanced palate, with a supple and delicate flavour.

80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Traditional winemaking process: fermentation and maceration under controlled temperature not exceeding 32°C. Aged in vats, then for one year in traditional Bordeaux bottles in our cellars at 15°C.

ABV: 14%

A new surprise

We've always been fans of Languedoc reds, and having tried this for the first time we are much taken with this example of southern whites. Beautiful balance of acidity and freshness. This will be on our repeat shopping list like Villa Blanche.

An old favourite

Although this is a new vintage for us, it never fails to delight. Full of lovely crisp Grenache flavour. We bought it for summer and starting drinking it in mid-winter!!

Excellent value

Clear cab sav and merlot on the nose, clean not complex. Soft tannins and good fruit moderately sustained.. Clean finish. Good oak handling. Certainly not a platinum whatever that is but good silver and excellent value for the money

A great bridge between commercial and premium, plus it's a good conversation starter! 5 stars at the current discounted price.

Great Value

At its price, one of the best reds I have tasted. The experience is consistent with the bottle notes, fruity, balanced with a hint of oak and a long finish.
