Lush, almost sweet, silky and delicious, this elegant and collectible wine shows red and black cherries, mint chocolate and blackcurrants. Cherry creme and spearmint flavors expand on the palate, backed by soft, very fine-grained tannins. Quite indulgent, luxurious and sensuous with a lingering finish. Drink now or hold.

97 points The Wine Palate
The 2022 Au Paradis is deep garnet-purple in color. The blend is 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Merlot. After a swirl or two, notes of red currant jelly and cassis spill from the glass, accented with hints of pencil lead, dried mint, Indian spices, and iron ore with a touch of mossy tree bark. The full-bodied palate is packed with juicy black fruit layers, supported by firm, grainy tannins and refreshing acidity, finishing long and earthy. Impressive! 1,642 cases were made.
96 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Au Paradis contains 21% Cabernet Franc and 2% Merlot. It displays exceptional, inviting aromas of blueberry, black cherry, juniper, thyme, violet, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is equally expressive, offering power and concentration without sacrificing elegance. Its flavors, characterized by graphite and floral notes, are carried by luxuriously powdery tannins and lively acidity. The finish is very long and complex. A total of 1,642 cases were produced, and release is planned for September 2025.
