WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
– Wine Enthusiast, 92 pts.
Named after the famed D2 road that runs from Bordeaux up through the Médoc, the 2018 D2 checks in as 67% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It has a classy, medium-bodied style offering fine, elegant tannins, a balanced, charming texture, and classic notes of currants, violets, lead pencil, and tobacco. Reminding me of a top Cru Bourgeois, it should keep for a decade.

Black plums, baked blueberries, mocha and toffee on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, polished tannins. Ripe with bright acidity and a firm, tannic finish. 67% merlot, 28% cabernet sauvignon, 3% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Drink or hold.
